Re: [PATCH 1/2] net/fsl: fman: Allow fm_max_frame_sz & rx_extra_headroom config from devicetree.

[EVS Hardware Dpt]

Hi Madalin, Guys

I know, but it's somewhat difficult to use those parameters on kernel's
command line.
I don't think it's wrong to also add that in devicetree.
No removal, just an added feature.

For ethernet node in devicetree, there are a lot of configuration stuff like
max-frame-size to allow configuration of MTU
(and so potentially enable jumbo) and it's regarded as fine.

It's also the goal of this patch. Allow an easy configuration of
fsl_fm_max_frm from a dts. I added rx_extra_headroom for the sake of
completeness.

So I plead for this addition because I don't think it's wrong to do that and
I consider it's nicer to add an optional devicetree property rather than
adding a lot of obscure stuff on kernel's command line.

Hope you'll share my point of view.

Have a nice weekend Madalin, Guys,
Fred.
