This was the original code in this driver.

This value (1632 or 2048 bytes) is SoC (family) specific.

By checking which device defines set_max_frame_size callback, I could
fill the chip->info->max_frame_size with 1632 value.

I think that the callback check is a bit "defensive" approach -> 1522B
is the default value and 1632 (or 10240 - jumbo) can be set only when
proper callback is defined.

Please correct me if I misunderstood something:

The problem is with new mv88eXXXX devices, which will not provide
max_frame_size information to their chip->info struct?

Or is there any other issue?

This would be possible, yes.

However, then we will not check if the proper callback (e.g.
chip->info->ops->set_max_frame_size) is available for specific SoC.

If this is OK for maintainers for this driver, then I don't mind.
