I remember getting a comment asking me to add a comment or check to 
validate tx_min_frag_size, I don't remember at this point why I added 
for verify_time as well, lost track in the comments lot. I will remove 
it. Just to confirm, do I need icssg_qos_validate_tx_min_frag_size() or 
can I remove it as well ?

I don't have any strong reason as such, I didn't want to put any helper 
functions in icssg_ethtool.c.
