Reassembly configuration is expected to be a one-time setting and is not 
expected
to change multiple times in the application.
You are correct that rte_eth_dev_info :: reass_capa reports max supported values
by the PMD.
But if somebody uses the _set API, dev_info values will be overwritten.
However, a get API can be added, if we have some use case.
IMO, we can add it later if it will be required.
