[PATCH v2 3/4] dts: add methods for modifying MTU to testpmd shell

[jspewock at iol.unh.edu]

From: Jeremy Spewock <jspewock at iol.unh.edu>

There are methods within DTS currently that support updating the MTU of
ports on a node, but the methods for doing this in a linux session rely
on the ip command and the port being bound to the kernel driver. Since
test suites are run while bound to the driver for DPDK, there needs to
be a way to modify the value while bound to said driver as well. This is
done by using testpmd to modify the MTU.
