RE: [PATCH net-next 6/6] i40e: Log error for oversized MTU on device

Good day Jakub

We want to be user friendly to help users troubleshoot faster.
Only dmesg message can have template parameters so we can provide exact acceptable maximum bytes.
Can you could you take this into account?

Thank you

When attempting to link XDP prog with MTU larger than supported, user 
is not informed why XDP linking fails. Adding proper error message: 
"MTU too large to enable XDP".
Due to the lack of support for non-static variables in netlinks 
extended ACK feature, additional information has been added to dmesg 
to better inform about invalid MTU setting.

Extack should be enough.
