Ok, I get your point.
V3 will implement LEC as an enum.

Oh.. that's strange.
However, if the specs says so we must implement timeout.
I will follow the approach you suggested.

I agree.

I understand that in-order-transmission and reception is mandatory.
I will check the implementation of at91 and pch CAN drivers for the same.
V3 will ensure in-order RX and TX :)

After writing this comment I realized that quota should be checked
against 0 here. V3 will implement the same.

Ok, I will go through the details give in the flexcan driver

This was the approach I initially proposed in my RFC V1 patch :)
But unfortunately we could not agree to it.
So, please let me reiterate what I understood and what was present
in RFC version of the patch. Please add your comments/views:

        - drivers/net/can/c_can/c_can.c (similar on lines of sja1000.c)
        i.e. a)no *probe* / *remove* functions here,
             b)register read/write implemented here.

        - drivers/net/can/c_can/c_can_platform.c (similar on lines of sja1000_platform.c)
        i.e. *probe* / *remove* implemented here,

Marc and Tomoya can also add their suggestions so that I can finalize V3 a.s.a.p.
