You can put debugging prints in the code, but please, in the code that
you submit, do remove gratuitous poking in the master net_device.

The ds->ops->port_max_mtu() function is never called for the CPU port.
You must know this, you put a debugging print right above. If this would
have been called for anything other than user ports, dsa_port_to_master()
would have triggered a NULL pointer dereference (dp->cpu_dp is set to
NULL for CPU ports).
So please remove dead code.

Please replace "1518 - ETH_HLEN - ETH_FCS_LEN" with "ETH_DATA_LEN".
Which brings me to a more serious question. If you say that the max_mtu
is equal to the default interface MTU (1500), and you provide no means
for the user to change the MTU to a different value, then why write the
patch? What behaves differently with and without it?
