BTW. for the next submission of Bhupeshs patchset, i would propose to

name the

driver 'ccan' instead of 'c_can', so that we have a

    linux/drivers/net/can/ccan/...

path.

You are late ;-). Bosch named the controller *C_CAN* and therefore I
asked Bhupesh some time ago to change the file name and variable name
prefix from ccan to c_can.

Actually V1 of this patchset used the naming convention ccan.
But as was rightly pointed out by Wolfgang and Mark, Bosch
has officially named this core as C_CAN and the naming convention
is kept as C_CAN throughout their user-manual and technical articles.
IMHO, `c_can` seems to represent this Bosch core in a better way 
than ccan.

Looks like there are really good reasons for the c_can naming :-)

Thanks for explanation & also sorry for the noise!

Oliver
