  When port-to-port forwarding for interfaces in HSR node is enabled,
disable promiscuous mode since L2 frame forward happens at the
offloaded hardware.

Bridge folks any thoughts on this? Is this the behavior bridge has 
and if not should we try to align the two?

It's not clear to me why you want to disable promiscuous mode. I'm not
familiar with HSR, but I assume you want the hardware to forward all the
packets between the two ports and not only specific DMACs.

How does the underlying device implement "promiscuous mode" that you
benefit from disabling it?

Thanks

While creating an HSR interface using two slave nodes, the promiscuous mode
is set via dev_set_promiscuity() in hsr_portdev_setup() for both the ports.
And then in the HSR driver, a packet is forwarded to the other
slave port (physical port) and also the HSR master if it is intended for it.

Before forwarding, a check is done in 

static void hsr_forward_do(struct hsr_frame_info *frame)
{
...

if (hsr->proto_ops->drop_frame &&                                                       
    hsr->proto_ops->drop_frame(frame, port))               
         continue;     

...
}

And the drop_frame callback is as below

bool hsr_drop_frame(struct hsr_frame_info *frame, struct hsr_port *port)                                
{                                                                       
        if (port->dev->features & NETIF_F_HW_HSR_FWD)                   
                return prp_drop_frame(frame, port);                     
                                                                        
        return false;                                                      
}  


The driver drops these packets and does not forward to any port at all.
But since promiscuous mode is enabled, CPU cycles are consumed. So benefit
of disabling promiscuous mode is saving CPU cycles.

So in this patch, I check for NETIF_F_HW_HSR_FWD and then take a
call to enable/disable the promiscuous mode during HSR interface creation.

Can the hardware be configured to not send to the CPU packets that the
CPU is going to drop anyway? IFF_PROMISC is about receiving packets with
any MAC DA, not about sending all packets to the CPU. With offloading
drivers, there is a difference between the 2, because the RX path of a
port is not necessarily the same as the CPU receive path - the
destination of a packet can simply be another port.
