In general we use '-' rather than '_' in compatible strings...

We know this is a property, and we know it has a value.

The important detail is _which_ interrupt this represents. Does the
M_CAN block have a single output interrupt?

> +- clocks               : clocks used by controller

How many?

Which clock inputs on the M_CAN to they feed into?

This is far too complicated for a single property.

It sounds like what we actually need to describe is the message RAM and
how M_CAN instances relate to it.

Pardon?

This is far too complicated, and far too low-level. I want to see a
better description of what this is any why thie is necessary.

The use of reg-names was not described.

Any reason for a disabled status in the example?

This doesn't look endian-clean.

How are the registers laid out? Are they a string of bytes than can be
accessed in 4-byte chunks, or are they a string of 4-byte values?

Still to be done?

Why 8? Use a #define here...

...and use it here too.

That said, I want a better description of this property as I mentioned
previously.

Doesn't this need pinctrl properties in the DT?

So just the one clock?

This wasn't in the binding.

Thanks,
