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.)
