ACK. I noticed later that these were not modified by this patch. Sorry
for the noise

ctucan_read_timestamp_counter() is reentrant, but on 32 bit systems the
update of tc->cycle_last isn't.

Oh, I missed the fact that the CAN clock is not enabled at all. That
should be fixed, too, in a separate patch.

So let's focus on the ts_clk here. On DT systems if there's no ts-clk,
you can assign the normal clk pointer to the priv->timestamp_clk, too.
Move the calculation of mult, shift and the delays into
ctucan_timestamp_init(). If ctucan_timestamp_init is not NULL, add a
clk_prepare_enable() and clk_get_rate(), otherwise use the can_clk_rate.
Add the corresponding clk_disable_unprepare() to ctucan_timestamp_stop().

For the CAN clock, add a prepare_enable to ndo_open, corresponding
function to ndo_stop. Or better, add these time runtime_pm.

Has system suspend/resume been tested? I think the IP core might be
powered off during system suspend, so the driver has to restore the
state of the chip. The easiest would be to run through
chip_start()/chip_stop().

For the possible change of clock rate between probe and ifup, we should
add a CAN driver framework wide function to re-calculate the bitrates
with the current clock rate after the prepare_enable.

BTW: In an early version of the stm32mp1 device tree some graphics clock
and the CAN clock shared the same parent clock. The configuration of the
display (which happened after the probe of the CAN driver ) caused a
different rate in the CAN clock, resulting in broken bit timings.

NACK - if the time stamping clock is added, please with proper handling.
The core clock can be fixed in a later patch.

Marc
