Add a network driver for the Modem Host Interface (MHI) endpoint devices
that provides network interfaces to the PCIe based Qualcomm endpoint
devices supporting MHI bus. This driver allows the MHI endpoint devices to
establish IP communication with the host machines (x86, ARM64) over MHI
bus.

The driver currently supports only IP_SW0 MHI channel that can be used
to route IP traffic from the endpoint CPU to host machine.

ETH_MAX_MTU ?

Personal preference thing. If you think 0xffff is really the superior option, so be it. Personally, it takes me a second to figure out that is 64k - 1 and then relate it to the MHI packet size limit. Also seems really odd with this line of code right next to, and related to, ETH_MIN_MTU. Feels like a non-magic number here will make things more maintainable.

Alternatively move MHI_MAX_MTU out of host/internal.h into something that is convenient for this driver to include and use? It is a fundamental constant for the MHI protocol, we just haven't yet had a need for it to be used outside of the MHI bus implementation code.

Looks like this can fit all on one line to me.
