.min() doesn't work on np.datetime64 with a chunked Dataset #5001

Description

@ludwigVonKoopa

Hi all,

if a xr.Dataset is chunked, i cannot do ds.time.min(), i get an error : ufunc 'add' cannot use operands with types dtype('<M8[ns]') and dtype('<M8[ns]'). I don't know if it is expected ?
Moreover, ds2.time.mean() works

Thanks

What happened:

raised an UFuncTypeError: ufunc 'add' cannot use operands with types dtype('<M8[ns]') and dtype('<M8[ns]')

What you expected to happen:

compute the min & max on a chunked datetime64 xarray.DataArray

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example:

import xarray as xr
import numpy as np

obs=200
t0 = np.datetime64("2010-01-01T00:00:00")
tn = t0 + np.timedelta64(123*4, "D")

ds2 = xr.Dataset(
    {
        "time": (["obs"], np.arange(t0, tn, (tn-t0)/obs)),
    },
    coords={
        "obs": (["obs"], np.arange(obs)),
    },
).chunk({"obs": 100})

ds2.time.min()

Anything else we need to know?:

ds2.time.mean() works, max & min raise Exception

Environment:

Output of xr.show_versions()
