The magic 2048 is explained in the LAN9211 datasheet (DS00002414A) in chapter 1.4, "10/100 Ethernet MAC":
The MAC Interface Layer (MIL), within the MAC, contains a 2K Byte transmit and a 128 Byte receive FIFO which is separate from the TX and RX FIFOs. [...] Note, the use of the constant in lan9118_receive() reveals that our implementation is using the same buffer for both tx and rx.
