There is the mlx5 NIC limitations - configuring MTU
for PCI Virtual Function has no meaning. The actual maximal
packet size in VF's receiving is limited by MTU configured
on the related PCI Physical Function, the DPDK datapath
running over VF should be prepared to handle packets
of this maximal size.

Patch applied to next-net-mlx,

Kindest regards,
Raslan Darawsheh
