I was not so familiar with kernel patching until now and hope that this patch is correct now:
From 8836f1df35a884327da37885ff3ad8bfc5eb933c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Marco Wenzel <marco.wenzel@...berle.de>
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2021 13:53:31 +0100
Subject: [PATCH] net: hsr: add support for EntryForgetTime
In IEC 62439-3 EntryForgetTime is defined with a value of 400 ms. When a
node does not send any frame within this time, the sequence number check
for can be ignored. This solves communication issues with Cisco IE 2000
in Redbox mode.
