Ok. I will look on that

I doubt that having two hsr{01} interfaces is possible with current
kernel.

The KSZ9477 allows only to have 2 ports of 5 available as HSR
ones.

The same is with earlier chip xrs700x (but this have even bigger
constrain - there only ports 1 and 2 can support HSR).

Please see my below comment.

I've explicitly followed the vendor's guidelines - the TAG_LOOKUP needs
to be cleared.

But if we can assure that it is not set here I can remove it.

I thought about this solution as well, but I've been afraid, that going
through the loop of all 5 ports each time we want to send single packet
will reduce the performance.

Hence, the idea with having the "hsr_ports" set once during join
function and then use this cached value afterwards.
