So where is it failing exactly? Here I guess, because mtu_limit will be
negative?

	mtu_limit = min_t(int, master->max_mtu, dev->max_mtu);
	old_master_mtu = master->mtu;
	new_master_mtu = largest_mtu + dsa_tag_protocol_overhead(cpu_dp->tag_ops);
	if (new_master_mtu > mtu_limit)
		return -ERANGE;

I don't think we can work around it in DSA, it's garbage in, garbage out.

In principle, I don't have such a big issue with writing the MTU
register as part of the switch initialization, especially if it's global
and not per port. But tell me something else. You pre-program the MTU
with VLAN_ETH_FRAME_LEN + ETH_FCS_LEN, but in the MTU change procedure,
you also add KSZ9477_INGRESS_TAG_LEN (2) to that. Is that needed at all?
I expect that if it's needed, it's needed in both places. Can you
sustain an iperf3 tcp session over a VLAN upper of a ksz9477 port?
I suspect that the missing VLAN_HLEN is masking a lack of KSZ9477_INGRESS_TAG_LEN.
