Adding "sun7i-a20-can" to the compatible list results in a checkpatch
warning, that the "driver" is not documented.

 WARNING: DT compatible string "allwinner,sun7i-a20-can" appears
un-documented -- check ./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/
#27: FILE: arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20.dtsi:1586:
+			compatible = "allwinner,sun7i-a20-can",

Is it really OK to add a driver that doesn't exist yet?

Thanks,
Patrick
