Subject: [PATCH RESEND RESEND] can: m_can: implement errata "Needless
 activation of MRAF irq"

From: Eugen Hristev <eugen.hristev@...rochip.com>

During frame reception while the MCAN is in Error Passive state
and the Receive Error Counter has thevalue MCAN_ECR.REC = 127, it may happen
that MCAN_IR.MRAF is set although there was no Message RAM access failure.
If MCAN_IR.MRAF is enabled, an interrupt to the Host CPU is generated.
Work around:
The Message RAM Access Failure interrupt routine needs to check whether
 MCAN_ECR.RP = '1' and MCAN_ECR.REC = '127'.
In this case, reset MCAN_IR.MRAF. No further action is required.
This affects versions older than 3.2.0

Errata explained on Sama5d2 SoC which includes this hardware block:
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/SAMA5D2-Family-Silicon-Errata-and-Data-Sheet-Clarification-DS80000803B.pdf chapter 6.2

Reproducibility: If 2 devices with m_can are connected back to back,
configuring different bitrate on them will lead to interrupt storm on the
receiving side, with error "Message RAM access failure occurred".
Another way is to have a bad hardware connection. Bad wire connection can lead
to this issue as well.

This patch fixes the issue according to provided workaround.

Hello,

This patch was initially sent on March 4th:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-can&m=155171066003723&w=2
Resend on April 2nd:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-can&m=155617409826271&w=2

Is there any reason why there is no answer ? Am I not sending this patch
to the right people?

Thank you,
Eugen
