[net-next PATCH RFC 5/5] net: ethernet: stmicro: stmmac: permit MTU change with interface up

From: Christian Marangi
Date: Mon Jun 27 2022 - 21:34:27 EST


Remove the limitation where the interface needs to be down to change
MTU by releasing and opening the stmmac driver to set the new MTU.
Also call the set_filter function to correctly init the port.
This permits to remove the EBUSY error while the ethernet port is
running permitting a correct MTU change if for example a DSA request
a MTU change for a switch CPU port.
