Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next-2.6] can: mcp251x: Move to threaded interrupts
 instead of workqueues.

Could you please truncate the lines to the usual 72 (or 80) characters
per line?

Any chance to get rid of these forward declarations (by reordering them)?

Before it calls netif_carrier_on, it calls the drivers "do_set_mode"
callback. See:

http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.32/drivers/net/can/dev.c#L383

Is there a way to clear the TX logic in the "do_set_mode" callback?
