There are two points with the calculation of RX buffer size which are
not optimal:
1. mtu is a mutual parameter, but actually we need the maximum possible
   MTU. So better use the define directly.
2. This magic number 4 represent the hardware generated frame length
   which is specific to SPI. We better replace this with the suitable
   define.

There is no functional change.
This is a bit confusing why you said no functional change. At first my
thought was that dev->mtu could easily be smaller than the maximum MTU.
(thats why its configurable after all?). But actually the diff context
cuts off a few lines that are extremely relevant:
        struct qcaspi *qca = netdev_priv(dev);

        dev->mtu = QCAFRM_MAX_MTU;
We assign dev->mtu here to QCAFRM_MAX_MTU
        dev->type = ARPHRD_ETHER;
        qca->clkspeed = qcaspi_clkspeed;
        qca->burst_len = qcaspi_burst_len;
        qca->spi_thread = NULL;
        qca->buffer_size = (dev->mtu + VLAN_ETH_HLEN + QCAFRM_HEADER_LEN +
                QCAFRM_FOOTER_LEN + 4) * 4;
And then use it here.
        memset(&qca->stats, 0, sizeof(struct qcaspi_stats));
Makes sense to use the constant directly.

It might have helped to have a bit more of this context in the commit
message, but its still a good cleanup.
