Hello Dong,

some general remarks from my side ...

What is the reason for not supporting CAN FD?
The infrastructure is ready for it since Linux 3.15.

http://www.can-newsletter.org/engineering/standardization/140513_can-fd-linux-tools-and-driver-infrastructure_peak_vw/

For details see my commits for Linux 3.15.

There's no reason to name this canfd. The fact that the controller supports
CAN FD is provided by priv->ctrlmode_supported and the CAN_CTRLMODE_FD bit.

Just write

can1: can@...e8000 {

Please create a new m_can directory and a Kconfig in this directory analogue
to the c_can IP core approach.
