Ping... I see this behavior is also seen on v4.9.x Kernel. Any clue if 
this is fixed by some commit or I need to debug? I see IGMPv6 has some 
fixes on the list to make it similar to IGMPv4. So can someone clarify this is
is a bug at IGMPv6 code or I need to look into the HSR driver code?
Since IGMPv4 is going over the HSR interface I am assuming this is a
bug in the IGMPv6 code. But since I have not experience with this code
can some expert comment please?
