DAN-P (Dual Attached Nodes PRP) nodes are expected to receive traditional IP packets as well as PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) tagged (trailer) packets. PRP trailer is 6 bytes of PRP protocol unit called RCT, Redundancy Control Trailer (RCT) similar to HSR tag. PRP network can have traditional devices such as bridges/switches or PC attached to it and should be able to communicate. Regular Ethernet devices treat the RCT as pads. This patch adds logic to format L2 frames from network stack to add a trailer (RCT) and send it as duplicates over the slave interfaces when the protocol is PRP as per IEC 62439-3. At the ingress, it strips the trailer, do duplicate detection and rejection and forward a stripped frame up the network stack. PRP device should accept frames from Singly Attached Nodes (SAN) and thus the driver mark the link where the frame came from in the node table.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
