No, the d_can IP core is generally not limited to ARM.

	"can: Add support for Bosch D_CAN controller"

would be perfectly fine.

The correct way is:

1. post your new CAN driver to linux-can ML
2. When the major reviews & style fixes are done and the driver is fit for
mainline you can post it on ti-omap ML too

But an initial cross-posting of this CAN driver to netdev ML and linux-kernel
ML does not help anyone - it only increases traffic & confusion.

Thanks for following these hints,
