Actually AF9015 chip offers registers to configure packet size. But 
those which are now used are default ones and rather many devices (other 
than af9015) are using just same. That's why I am not sure if I want 
change those to bigger ones.

I will make test version that uses 4k packets for your tests. If it 
resolves problem then we should consider for example adding module param 
for setting desirable packet size. I will inform you when test version 
is ready - It takes day or two.
