HSR is a redundancy protocol that can be realized with any
two port ethernet controller.
Many of TI's K3 SoCs support multi port ethernet controller.
So enable HSR driver inorder to support this protocol on
such SoCs.

The normal way this gets picked up into mainline is that you
send it to the K3 platform maintainers (added to Cc) and they
send me a pull request or forward the patch to [email protected].

I usually do that for TI specific patches. This one seemed like a
generic one as HSR protocol can be run on any multi port ethernet
controller. So I wasn't sure about including TI maintainers.
But no harm in Cc'ing them. I will follow this advice for future
patches.

Ah, I think I misread this as being much more hardware specific.
In a case like this, going through either a platform maintainer
or sending the patch directly to [email protected] (with the usual
Ccs) is equally fine.
