(please do not top-post on netdev)

There is a proper way to support the MTU configuration for DSA switch
drivers which is:

        /*
         * MTU change functionality. Switches can also adjust their MRU
through
         * this method. By MTU, one understands the SDU (L2 payload) length.
         * If the switch needs to account for the DSA tag on the CPU
port, this
         * method needs to to do so privately.
         */
        int     (*port_change_mtu)(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port,
                                   int new_mtu);
        int     (*port_max_mtu)(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port);
