Update the linuxptp repository URL from the bigeasy fork to the mda fork, and update the branch from hsr_prp_v2_plus to hsr_prp_ptp. Also remove the now-unnecessary config file patching steps. Signed-off-by: MD Danish Anwar <danishanwar@ti.com>

@danish-ti, if we have to switch anyway, shouldn't we have a TI Git Repository rather than an individual fork? We have the following repository for TI's fork of linuxptp and I think you can contribute to it if the bigeasy fork is not updated:
https://git.ti.com/cgit/processor-sdk/linuxptp/
You could additionally state that we are switching to a fork of linuxptp that shall be maintained by TI for PTP support with HSR and PRP. I don't think an individual fork of an upstream repository for vendor supported features hosted on git.kernel.org is a good approach. Please check if you could switch to the TI fork instead.

The current documentation of HSR/PRP PTP is outdated as bigeasy is no longer maintained. I am changing it to my fork so that the customers can still use this feature. The TI fork is not well maintained, the last commit I see is from 5 years ago. I agree with you that instead of any custom fork, we should host this on TI fork. The longterm solution should be to switch to TI fork. And I will look into it.
For now I think we should update the documentation so that customers don't use the outdated fork. I can plan integrating this feature in the TI fork for later.
