Hi Lukasz,

this patch (2) seems to have a build dependency on:
(1) [v2,RESEND] net: hsr: Use full string description when opening HSR network device
    https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240326085649.3259424-1-lukma@denx.de/

Which is pending review.

With this in mind, I suggest waiting for the review of 1 to be completed
and then either:

* If 1 is accepted, then follow-up by sending v4 of this patch (2); or
* If changes are requested to 1, include 1 and 2 together in
   a patchset after addressing relevant feedback
