The KSZ9477 allows HSR in-HW offloading for any of two selected ports.
This patch adds check if one tries to use more than two ports with
HSR offloading enabled.
The problem is with RedBox configuration (HSR-SAN) - when configuring:
ip link add name hsr0 type hsr slave1 lan1 slave2 lan2 interlink lan3 \
supervision 45 version 1
The lan1 (port0) and lan2 (port1) are correctly configured as ports, which
can use HSR offloading on ksz9477.
However, when we do already have two bits set in hsr_ports, we need to
return (-ENOTSUPP), so the interlink port (lan3) would be used with
SW based HSR RedBox support.
Otherwise, I do see some strange network behavior, as some HSR frames are
visible on non-HSR network and vice versa.
This causes the switch connected to interlink port (lan3) to drop frames
and no communication is possible.
Moreover, conceptually - the interlink (i.e. HSR-SAN port - lan3/port2)
shall be only supported in software as it is also possible to use ksz9477
with only SW based HSR (i.e. port0/1 -> hsr0 with offloading, port2 ->
HSR-SAN/interlink, port4/5 -> hsr1 with SW based HSR).

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 reStructuredText 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.
