Some rockchip SoCs like the RK3399 and RK3328 exhibit an issue
where tx checksumming does not work with packets larger than 1498.
The default Programmable Buffer Length for TX in these GMAC's is
not suitable for MTUs higher than 1498. The workaround is to disable
TX offloading with 'ethtool -K eth0 tx off rx off' causing performance
impacts as it disables hardware checksumming.
This patch sets snps,txpbl to 0x4 which is a safe number tested ok for
the most popular MTU value of 1500.
For reference, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/4/1/1382.

applied for 5.7
Thanks
Heiko
I am also in favor of this but I think we should remove the line that
specifies the txpbl in the rk3328-roc-cc.dts gmac2io since it will get
applied here in the .dtsi

I don't know what this option says, why not specify a mtu in the DT?
The hardware limitation will be more clear, no?

What about using something like:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/marvell-armada-370-neta.txt#n16
or
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ethernet-controller.yaml#n37
?
