Subject: [PATCH 3.16 176/305] can: dev: __can_get_echo_skb(): replace
 struct can_frame by canfd_frame to access frame length

3.16.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@...gutronix.de>

commit 200f5c49f7a2cd694436bfc6cb0662b794c96736 upstream.

This patch replaces the use of "struct can_frame::can_dlc" by "struct
canfd_frame::len" to access the frame's length. As it is ensured that
both structures have a compatible memory layout for this member this is
no functional change. Futher, this compatibility is documented in a
comment.
