I had a similar issue with the cpsw_new driver (TI CPSW Switch Support with
switchdev):

eth0: mtu greater than device maximum
cpsw-switch 48484000.switch eth0: error -22 setting MTU to 1502 to include DSA
overhead

I did the same changes to allow setting the MTU on cpsw_new driver when used
with DSA switch.

Also I noticed that the am65-cpsw-nuss already initialize min_mtu and max_mtu [1].
