Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next 2/2] net: dsa: realtek: Rewrite RTL8366RB MTU handling

> The MTU callbacks are in layer 1 size, so for example 1500

Don't we need a Fixes tag?

I'm not sure you need this old code. Whenever you change the MTU in a
user port, it will also call rtl8366rb_change_mtu() for the CPU port
if the max MTU changes. A call to change both the port and the CPU
port makes sense when you need to update something inside the switch
to set the MTU per port. However, these realtek switches only have a
global MTU size for all ports. What I did in rtl8365mb is to ignore
any MTU change except it is related to the CPU port. I hope this is a
"core feature" that you can rely on.

If that works for you, you can also drop the rb->max_mtu and the code
in rtl8366rb_setup(), calling rtl8366rb_change_mtu() for the CPU port
instead.
