sfc: Use the correct maximum TX DMA ring size for SFC9100
As part of a workaround for a hardware erratum in the SFC9100 family (SF bug 35388), the TX_DESC_UPD_DWORD register address is also used for communicating with the event block, and only descriptor pointer values < 2048 are valid. If the TX DMA ring size is increased to 4096 descriptors (which the firmware still allows) then we may write a descriptor pointer value >= 2048, which has entirely different and undesirable effects! Limit the TX DMA ring size correctly when this workaround is in effect.
