Re: [RFC/PATCH] ipg: add jumbo frame support kconfig option

Hi,

Please don't do this as a config option. Config options seem like a good
idea to developers but are difficult for distributions.  Either 
support jumbo frames by default or not at all.

Agreed, but to be more specific... always compile in jumbo frame 
support. You don't have to enable it at runtime by default, though.

Ok, so a sysfs attribute would be sufficient, I suppose? I don't have the 
hardware though, so I don't even know if the jumbo frame code actually 
works at this point hence the RFC. So I'll wait for someone to test this 
before sending a new patch. Thanks for the review!
