As we don't specify the MTU in the driver, the framework
will fall back to 1500 bytes and this doesn't work very
well when we try to attach a DSA switch:

  eth1: mtu greater than device maximum
  ixp4xx_eth c800a000.ethernet eth1: error -22 setting
  MTU to 1504 to include DSA overhead

After locating an out-of-tree patch in OpenWrt I found
suitable code to set the MTU on the interface and ported
it and updated it. Now the MTU gets set properly.

Changes in v4:
- Rebase on the merged patch "net: ixp4xx_eth: Specify min/max MTU"
  so it can be easily applied.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230928-ixp4xx-eth-mtu-v3-1-cb18eaa0edb9@linaro.org

Changes in v3:
- Fix some coding style and initialization style.
- Collect Jacob's review tag.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230925-ixp4xx-eth-mtu-v2-1-393caab75cb0@linaro.org

Changes in v2:
- Don't just set min/max MTU: implement the interface for actually
  changing it as well.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230923-ixp4xx-eth-mtu-v1-1-9e88b908e1b2@linaro.org
