Re: [PATCH net-next 00/15] DSA simple HSR offload

It is nice, that somebody thinks about homeworks for other
developers ... (:-D)

Mine (from netdev ML) includes, but is not limited to, MoreThanIP switch
driver (yes, for NXP's imx287) .... (v21 in preparation).

Nonetheless, are changes from this patch set applicable to HSR tests:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/testing/selftests/net/hsr

Especially, the hsr_ping.sh and hsr_redbox.sh?
