It looks so...

I tend to agree... The number of switched which suppor 1522 B max frame
is only six. This may be why the problem was not noticed.

The fixed function maybe should look like below:


static int mv88e6xxx_get_max_mtu(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port)
{
	....

	
	int max_mtu;

	max_mtu = chip->info->max_frame_size - VLAN_ETH_HLEN -
		  ETH_FCS_LE;

	if (dsa_is_dsa_port(ds, port) || dsa_is_cpu_port(ds, port))
		  max_mtu -= EDSA_HLEN;

	return max_mtu;
}

Comments more than welcome.



Best regards,
