I'm guessing that the rx_max value is the maximum size of the USB bulk
data 'message' that the device generates?

As such the URB only need to be longer that it.
(Or multiples of the USB packet size, and the driver then merge URB
when generating skbs.)

Since you are now copying the data out of the URB's skb before
passing the ethernet packet upstream, is there ever any real
requirement to use a small rx_max? or ever change rx_max?
