> The industry standard jumbo frame MTU is 9216 bytes. When using the DSA
> subsystem, a 4-byte tag is added to each Ethernet frame.
>
> Increase AIROHA_MAX_MTU to 9220 bytes (9216 + 4) so that users can set a
> standard 9216-byte MTU on DSA ports.
>
> The underlying hardware supports significantly larger frame sizes
> (approximately 16K). However, the maximum MTU is limited to 9220 bytes
> for now, as this is sufficient to support standard jumbo frames and does
> not incur additional memory allocation overhead.

> v3:
> - Document that hardware supports larger MTU (~16K), but limit to 9220 for now
> - Target net-next (netdev/main) as this is a feature enhancement
> - No functional changes
