Subject: [PATCH net 12/15] can: mcp251xfd: mcp251xfd_regmap_crc_read(): update workaround broken CRC on TBC register

From: Thomas Kopp <thomas.kopp@...rochip.com>

The mcp251xfd compatible chips have an erratum ([1], [2]), where the
received CRC doesn't match the calculated CRC. In commit
c7eb923c3caf ("can: mcp251xfd: mcp251xfd_regmap_crc_read(): work
around broken CRC on TBC register") the following workaround was
implementierend.

- If a CRC read error on the TBC register is detected and the first
  byte is 0x00 or 0x80, the most significant bit of the first byte is
  flipped and the CRC is calculated again.
- If the CRC now matches, the _original_ data is passed to the reader.
  For now we assume transferred data was OK.

New investigations and simulations indicate that the CRC send by the
device is calculated on correct data, and the data is incorrectly
received by the SPI host controller.

Use flipped instead of original data and update workaround description
in mcp251xfd_regmap_crc_read().

[1] mcp2517fd: DS80000792C: "Incorrect CRC for certain READ_CRC commands"
[2] mcp2518fd: DS80000789C: "Incorrect CRC for certain READ_CRC commands"
