[PATCH net-next 04/13] bridge: mrp: Expose function br_mrp_port_open

[Horatiu Vultur]

In case the HW is capable to detect when the MRP ring is open or closed. It is
expected that the network driver will notify the SW that the ring is open or
closed.

The function br_mrp_port_open is used to notify the kernel that one of the ports
stopped receiving MRP_Test frames. The argument 'loc' has a value of '1' when
the port stopped receiving MRP_Test and '0' when it started to receive MRP_Test.
