So, just answer to the simple question: is it a valid case to have
plat->maxmtu > ndev->max_mtu? If it so, how is it used?
Otherwise we need a warning in such case. What did I miss?

No.

common_default_data()
{
 ... common defaults among *_default_data() ...
}

*_default_data()
{
...
 common_default_data();
 ...
}
