Code changes look correct to me. Description obviously needs to get 
written, but...

I loaded both the net as of ee9241524b46 ("amd-xgbe: do not select 
NET_SELFTESTS when INET is disabled") and tested it with and without 
this fix applied.

Before the fix, changing MTU till timeout after a few seconds with the 
complaint, after which the reset will happen and MTU will be applied 
late (the timeout in the wait event prevents a permanent deadlock). With 
the fix the command completes quickly with no errors and the MTU change 
applies immediately.
