Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] can: length: fix definitions and add bit length calculation

When created in [1], frames length definitions were added to implement
byte queue limits (bql). Because bql expects lengths in bytes, bit
length definitions were not considered back then.
    
Recently, a need to refer to the exact frame length in bits, with CAN
bit stuffing, appeared in [2].

This series introduces can_frame_bits(): a function-like macro that
can calculate the exact size of a CAN(-FD) frame in bits with or
without bitsuffing.

[1] commit 85d99c3e2a13 ("can: length: can_skb_get_frame_len(): introduce
    function to get data length of frame in data link layer")

[2] RE: [PATCH] can: mcp251xfd: Increase poll timeout

* Changelog *

v3 -> v4:

  * No functional changes.

  * as reported by Simon Horman, fix typo in the documentation of
    can_bitstuffing_len(): "bitstream_len" -> "destuffed_len".

  * as reported by Thomas Kopp, fix several other typos:
      - "indicatior" -> "indicator"
      - "in on the wire" -> "on the wire"
      - "bitsuffing" -> "bitstuffing".

  * in CAN_FRAME_LEN_MAX comment: specify that only the dynamic
    bitstuffing gets ignored but that the intermission is included.

  * move the Suggested-by: Thomas Kopp tag from patch 2 to patch 3.

  * add Reviewed-by: Thomas Kopp tag on the full series.

  * add an additional line of comment for the @intermission argument
    of can_frame_bits().

v2 -> v3:

  * turn can_frame_bits() and can_frame_bytes() into function-like
    macros. The fact that inline functions can not be used to
    initialize constant struct fields was bothering me. I did my best
    to make the macro look as less ugly as possible.

  * as reported by Simon Horman, add missing document for the is_fd
    argument of can_frame_bits().

v1 -> v2:

  * as suggested by Thomas Kopp, add a new patch to the series to fix
    the stuff bit count and the fixed stuff bits definitions

  * and another patch to fix documentation of the Remote Request
    Substitution (RRS).

  * refactor the length definition. Instead of using individual macro,
    rely on an inline function. One reason is to minimize the number
    of definitions. Another reason is that because the dynamic bit
    stuff is calculated differently for CAN and CAN-FD, it is just not
    possible to multiply the existing CANFD_FRAME_OVERHEAD_SFF/EFF by
    the overhead ratio to get the bitsuffing: for CAN-FD, the CRC
    field is already stuffed by the fixed stuff bits and is out of
    scope of the dynamic bitstuffing.
