When priv->plat->maxmtu == ndev->max_mtu will not be a warning message.

Oh NO ... it is a valid case for priv->plat->maxmtu > ndev->max_mtu if the
assignment of ndev->max_mtu is using SKB_MAX_HEAD(NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN),
which is < JUMBO_LEN, then priv->plat->maxmtu > ndev->max_mtu is valid.
Revert back and submit V5. Thanks.
