pool could be an unsigned, which would avoid the need for
MVPP2_BM_SHORT.

And for the upper limit, you have a convenient MVPP2_BM_POOLS_NUM in
your mvpp2_bm_pool_log_num enum, so why not use if ?

The comment is wrong. In this case, the HW short pool is the SW long
pool.

See here.

And the comment is wrong here as well :)

BIT(port->id) ?

Ditto.

Again, all over the place we hardcode the fact that Jumbo frames can
only be used on port 0. I know port 0 is the only one that can do 10G,
but are there possibly some use cases where you may want Jumbo frame on
another port ?

This all really feels very hardcoded to me.

How come we already had a max_mtu of 9676 without Jumbo frame support ?

Is this correct for all ports ? Shouldn't the maximum MTU be different
between port 0 (that supports Jumbo frames) and the other ports ?

Thanks!
