Noted. All those changes will be addressed in v3 series.
Thank you.

As a side note, macros get_can_dlc() and get_canfd_dlc of the same
file (include/linux/can/dev.h) also use __u8 instead of u8. Do you
want me to add a patch to change these as below?

 /*
  * get_can_dlc(value) - helper macro to cast a given data length code (dlc)
- * to __u8 and ensure the dlc value to be max. 8 bytes.
+ * to u8 and ensure the dlc value to be max. 8 bytes.
  *
  * To be used in the CAN netdriver receive path to ensure conformance with
  * ISO 11898-1 Chapter 8.4.2.3 (DLC field)
  */
