Adding this function doesn't allow the "possibility" for a larger frame
size. Adding it changes the value returned from mv88e6xxx_get_max_mtu()
to be a larger frame size, so all switches that make use of
mv88e6250_ops will be expected to support this larger frame size. Do
we know whether that is true?

There were patches floating about a while ago that specified the
maximum size in struct mv88e6xxx_info, but it seems those died a death.
