SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 2/2] net: macb: Limit maximum GEM TX length in TSO

> GEM_MAX_TX_LEN currently resolves to 0x3FF8 for any IP version supporting

> errata causes false amba_error (bit 6 of ISR) when length in payload
> descriptors is specified above 16387. The error occurs because the DMA
> falsely concludes that there is not enough space in SRAM for incoming

> packets using iperf on a version where SRAM was 16K for each queue. This
> errata will be documented shortly and affects all versions since TSO
> functionality was added. Hence limit the max length to 0x3FC0 (rounded).

You should add a comment above the definition which explains how this
value was derived. It looks magic currently.
