I thought the fix is simply this:

	if (ethhdr->h_proto == htons(ETH_P_HSR)) {
-		pull_size = sizeof(struct ethhdr);
+		pull_size = sizeof(struct hsr_tag);
		skb_pull(skb, pull_size);
		total_pull_size += pull_size;
	}

-	pull_size = sizeof(struct hsr_tag);
+	pull_size = sizeof(struct hsr_sup_tag);

Note the sizes of hsr_tag and hsr_sup_tag are the same: 6 bytes.
The code in 5.15 before this refactored code uses those structures.
When using v0 the EtherType uses the PRP tag instead of the HSR tag so
the HSR related code is not executed.
