Copying now. > Hi Murali, I'm not aware of anyone working on PRP support. I will have very little time, if any, to help out with this (or even test changes). In fact, if you want to send a patch for the MAINTAINERS file to take over maintainership of the HSR/PRP driver, that would probably be a good thing. (I'm CC'ing also Peter Heise to this conversation, since he's done some recent work on the HSR driver, and might want to keep updated.) -- Arvid Brodin Linux Consultant ALTEN Sweden
