Already since a while we have support for the Bosch CC770 and Intel
AN82527 CAN controllers in our out-of-tree Socket-CAN repository.
It would be nice if somebody could test the driver. Unfortunately,
I currently do not have hardware at hand. I have not yet ported the
OF platform driver as it needs further attaention due to the merge
of the platform and OF platform interface.

  can: cc770: add driver core for the Bosch CC770 and Intel AN82527
  can: cc770: legacy CC770 ISA bus driver

All applied, thank you.

Hello Dave,

this patchset was superseded for some time.

We're currently in the v4 patchset (dated 2011-11-29).

See http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/128244/

Do you want to revert the commit or should Wolfgang post a diff patch to get
to v4 ??

A not very good job was done here communicating to me what is happening.
Endless revisions, and not clear indication to me what should or should
not be applied as a result.

Well, not sure what I should have communicated to you, but ...

I want you guys to appoint someone to be the defacto CAN driver and
subsystem maintainer who collects and merges all the driver and
protocol patches into his tree, and acts as the one and only interface
for me when changes are ready to be included.

... I agree that this will work better and it hopefully will then also
save your valuable time. We will discuss in the Socket-CAN community who
will/can act as the one and only interface to you.

I sorted this out by reverting the older changes and applying V5.

But I had to fix things up, when applying patch #3 there are empty
trailing lines in some of the new files generated, and that causes
git to complain.

Sorry for the bad quality of my patch series. I will try to do a better
job next time.

Thanks,

Wolfgang.
