prototyping of hsr and prp solution internally first using TI' ICSS PRU 
Ethernet for industrial applications and then once we have it working, 
push the changes upstream. We are starting this process already 
beginning with upstream of ICSS PRU driver. I have plan to send an RFC 
patch for PRP support soon.
