Which net-next commit can these patches be applied to? On the current
master I get:

Applying: switchdev: mrp: Extend ring_role_mrp and in_role_mrp
Applying: bridge: mrp: Add 'enum br_mrp_hw_support'
Applying: bridge: mrp: Extend br_mrp_switchdev to detect better the errors
error: patch failed: net/bridge/br_mrp_switchdev.c:177
error: net/bridge/br_mrp_switchdev.c: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0004 bridge: mrp: Extend br_mrp_switchdev to detect better =
the errors
