When rx_flag == MTK_RX_FLAGS_HWLRO, 
rx_data_len = MTK_MAX_LRO_RX_LENGTH(4096 * 3) > PAGE_SIZE.
netdev_alloc_frag is for alloction of page fragment only.
Reference to other drivers and Documentation/vm/page_frags.rst

Branch to use kmalloc when rx_data_len > PAGE_SIZE.

Is it legal to allocate pages with kmalloc()? I mean they will end up
getting freed by page_frag_free(), not kfree().

Also there's more frag allocations here, search for napi_alloc_frag().

I'm pretty sure you also need to update all the other places in the code 
that currently assume that the buffer is allocated using the page frag 
allocator.
