This change adds a parameter for the Synopsys 10/100/1000
stmmac Ethernet driver to configure the maximum MTU supported
by the EMAC instance. Synopsys allows the FIFO sizes to
be configured when the cores are built for a particular
device, but do not provide a way for the driver to read
information from the device about the maximum MTU size
supported as limited by the device's FIFO size.

ePAPR v1.1 defines "max-frame-size" as being "Specifies maximum packet
length in bytes that the physical interface can send and receive.", I
would recommend you use that instead of this custom property.
