I've applied your change and verified that the rx_urb_size can't be
changed anymore by modifying the mtu of the wwan netdevice and stays
fixed to 1504.

Just a heads-up, that this change is not working fine with qmap setup
procedure, since the URB size can't be changed anymore to the value of
the maximum dl aggregated block set through wda_set_data_format.

I know that linking MTU with the rx_urb_size is odd, but this is how
it's done currently.

Regards,
Daniele
