Subject: Re: [PATCH v8 2/2] can: m_can: Add hrtimer to generate software
 interrupt

* Judith Mendez <jm@...com> [230530 22:48]:
> Introduce timer polling method to MCAN since some SoCs may not
> have M_CAN interrupt routed to A53 Linux and do not have
> interrupt property in device tree M_CAN node.
> 
> On AM62x SoC, MCANs on MCU domain do not have hardware interrupt
> routed to A53 Linux, instead they will use timer polling method.
> 
> Add an hrtimer to MCAN class device. Each MCAN will have its own
> hrtimer instantiated if there is no hardware interrupt found in
> device tree M_CAN node. The timer will generate a software
> interrupt every 1 ms. In hrtimer callback, we check if there is
> a transaction pending by reading a register, then process by
> calling the isr if there is.
