Subject: [PATCH] CAN: Add Flexcan CAN driver

This core is found on some Freescale SoCs and also some Coldfire
SoCs. Support for Coldfire is missing though at the moment as
they have an older revision of the core which does not have RX FIFO
support.

What is the meaning of this error warning interrupt? It does *not*
change the state.
This TWRNINT means that the Tx error counter has transitioned from < 96
to >= 96 (analog the RWRNINT for the Rx error counter). Unfortunately
the state bits handled below do not reflect this error warning state.

So this interrupt signals us that we have been in error warning state
once but we have no possibility to detect if we are still in error
warning state. I don't know how to handle this correctly. I could
disable this interrupt and ignore it completely.

I'm still not happy with the error message generation. If a state change
to error passive happens, it should be signaled to the user. Here my ideas:

	if (state != priv->can.state) {
		if (state == CAN_STATE_ERROR_WARNING) {
			cf->data[1] |= CAN_ERR_CRTL_RX_WARNING;
			priv->can.can_stats.error_warning++;
		} else if (state == CAN_STATE_ERROR_PASSIVE) {
			cf->data[1] |= CAN_ERR_CRTL_RX_PASSIVE;
			priv->can.can_stats.error_passive++;
		}

It might have missed something, though.
Sorry, I missed that from your previous mail. As we can't properly
detect ERROR_WARNING state this would reduce to:

	if (state != priv->can.state && state == CAN_STATE_ERROR_WARNING) {
		cf->data[1] |= CAN_ERR_CRTL_RX_WARNING;
		priv->can.can_stats.error_warning++;
	}
Why you can't detect error warning? When the [RT]WRNINT comes, the error
waning state has entered. By looking to the manual, the state changes to
error warning and bus-off are directly signaled via interrupt. A change
to error passive might be visible when bus error ints occurs. You could
add some dev_dbg's to the "if (stat & ERRSTAT_[RT]WRNINT)" and "switch"
blocks above and check with sending a message with no cable connected.
Read what I've written above. We get an interrupt on entering
error warning, but the bits reflecting the actual state only give error
active, error passive or bus off, but *not* error warning.

We could read the error counter and do something like

	switch ((stat >> 4) & 0x3) {
	case 0:
		state = CAN_STATE_ERROR_ACTIVE;
		break;
	case 1:
		state = CAN_STATE_ERROR_PASSIVE;
		break;
	default:
		state = CAN_STATE_BUS_OFF;
		break;
	}

	errcnt = readl(&regs->errcnt);
	rxerr = (errcnt >> 8) & 0xff;
	txerr = errcnt & 0xff;
	if ((rxerr >= 96 || txerr >= 96) && state == CAN_STATE_ERROR_ACTIVE)
		state = CAN_STATE_ERROR_WARNING;
