CTU CAN FD IP core SocketCAN driver - success with mainine Linux kernel and mainline QEMU builds

[Pavel Pisa]

Hello everybody,

I want to report successful build and test of the CTU CAN FD driver
from actual Linux kernel mainline GIT on actual QEMU build from
mainline git. Test on HW from net-next has been repeatedly
run by Matej Vasilevski during his timestamping patches work.

Thanks to all who helped, namely Ondrej Ille for his investment
in the project and rewrite of registers generator to provide
headers files acceptable for mainline, Marc Kleine-Budde
for review, integration and cleanup and together with
Pavel Machek to provide valuable feeback what is not acceptable.

I hope that we will be ready with with timestamping patches
cleanup for 5.20 merge windows as well as with support
for HDL sources parameterizable number of Tx buffres.

In the long term, I consider to use mechanism of software
virtual FIFO to implement multiqueue Tx support which
is in the fact needed in all serious CAN applications
to prevent bus level priority inversion.

We plan to visit and present on the Embedded World
in Nuremberg, so I would be happy to meet you there.
I hope that Carsten Emde and OSADL will pass over
information where we are available.
