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.

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 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.
