[PATCH v4 0/4] can: Support transceiver based bit rate limit

[PATCH v4 0/4] can: Support transceiver based bit rate limit

[Franklin S Cooper Jr]

Add a new generic binding that CAN drivers can be used to specify the max
bit rate supported by a transceiver. This is useful since in some instances
since the maximum speeds may be limited by the transceiver used. However,
transceivers may not provide a means to determine this limitation at
runtime. Therefore, create a new binding that mimics "fixed-link" that
allows a user to hardcode the max speeds that can be used.

Also add support for this new binding in the MCAN driver.

Note this is an optional subnode so even if a driver adds support for
parsing can-transceiver the user does not have to define it in their
device tree.

Version 4 changes:
Switch from fixed-transceiver to can-transceiver
Drop unit address that snuck back in again.
Indicate that can-transceiver is a subnode and not a property in
documentation

Version 3 changes:
Switch from having two "max bitrates" to one universal bitrate.

Version 2 changes:
Rename function
Define proper variable default
Drop unit address
Move check to changelink function
Reword commit message
Reword documentation

[PATCH v4 1/4] can: dev: Add support for limiting configured bitrate

[Franklin S Cooper Jr]

Various CAN or CAN-FD IP may be able to run at a faster rate than
what the transceiver the CAN node is connected to. This can lead to
unexpected errors. However, CAN transceivers typically have fixed
limitations and provide no means to discover these limitations at
runtime. Therefore, add support for a can-transceiver node that
can be reused by other CAN peripheral drivers to determine for both
CAN and CAN-FD what the max bitrate that can be used. If the user
tries to configure CAN to pass these maximum bitrates it will throw
an error.

    I'd initialize max_bitrate to 0 as iff of_property_read_u32() fails, it'll 
leave the variable unset...

    You risk checking unset variable here.

Four lines up I am already setting max_bitrate to a default value of 0.

    Oops, sorry. Don't know how I missed that. Better done as initializer too 
though...

[PATCH v4 2/4] dt-bindings: can: can-transceiver: Document new binding

[Franklin S Cooper Jr]

Add documentation to describe usage of the new can-transceiver binding.
This new binding is applicable for any CAN device therefore it exists as
its own document.

Signed-off-by: Franklin S Cooper Jr <fcooper@ti.com>
---
Version 4 changes:
Drop unit address.
Switch from using fixed-transceiver to can-transceiver

+Generic CAN transceiver Device Tree binding
+------------------------------
+
+CAN transceiver typically limits the max speed in standard CAN and CAN FD
+modes. Typically these limitations are static and the transceivers themselves
+provide no way to detect this limitation at runtime. For this situation,
+the "can-transceiver" node can be used.
+
+Required Properties:
+ max-bitrate:	a positive non 0 value that determines the max
+		speed that CAN/CAN-FD can run. Any other value
+		will be ignored.
+
+Examples:
+
+Based on Texas Instrument's TCAN1042HGV CAN Transceiver
+
+m_can0 {
+	....
+	can-transceiver@ {
+		max-bitrate = <5000000>;
+	};

Need to drop the @ too. With that,

[PATCH v4 3/4] dt-bindings: can: m_can: Document new can transceiver binding

[Franklin S Cooper Jr]

Add information regarding can-transceiver binding. This is especially
important for MCAN since the IP allows CAN FD mode to run significantly
faster than what most transceivers are capable of.

[PATCH v4 4/4] can: m_can: Add call to of_can_transceiver

[Franklin S Cooper Jr]

Add call to new generic functions that provides support via a binding
to limit the arbitration rate and/or data rate imposed by the physical
transceiver connected to the MCAN peripheral.
