Subject[net-next RFC PATCH 01/13] net: hsr: Re-use Kconfig option to support PRP
Date
PRP, Parallel Redundancy Protocol is another redundancy
protocol defined by IEC62439-3 similar to HSR. PRP uses
a RCT, Redundancy Control Trailer appended to the end
of a Ethernet frame to implement redundancy. There are
many similarities between these protocols so that existing
code for HSR can be enhanced to support PRP. So as
a first step, rename the existing CONFIG_HSR to
CONFIG_HSR_PRP to introduce PRP.

This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as

You need to perform any and all necessary tests yourself before
relying on this code in a safety critical system!
