This patch adds functions for providing in KSZ9477 switch HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy) hardware offloading. According to AN3474 application note following features are provided: - TX packet duplication from host to switch (NETIF_F_HW_HSR_DUP) - RX packet duplication discarding - Prevention of packet loop For last two ones - there is a probability that some packets will not be filtered in HW (in some special cases - described in AN3474). Hence, the HSR core code shall be used to discard those not caught frames. Moreover, some switch registers adjustments are required - like setting MAC address of HSR network interface. Additionally, the KSZ9477 switch has been configured to forward frames between HSR ports (e.g. 1,2) members to provide support for NETIF_F_HW_HSR_FWD flag. Join and leave functions are written in a way, that are executed with single port - i.e. configuration is NOT done only when second HSR port is configured.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
