Is there any specific reason for triggering this based on the existance
of the function call? Why not just replace:
else if (chip->info->ops->set_max_frame_size)
with:
else if (chip->info->max_frame_size)

Otherwise my concern is one gets defined without the other leading to a
future issue as 0 - extra headers will likely wrap and while the return
value may be a signed int, it is usually stored in an unsigned int so
it would effectively uncap the MTU.

Actually you could take this one step further since all values should
be 1522 or greater you could just drop the else/if and replace the last
line with "max_t(int, chip->info->max_frame_size, 1522) - (headers)".
