I received the datasheet from a good samaritan. With this, I was able
to confirm a few things.

1/ Your device can support CAN_CTRLMODE_CC_LEN8_DLC:

This is shown in the datasheet at:

  Table 3-52 Definition of the DLC (according to the CAN 2.0 / FD specification)

DLC values 9 to 15 (binary 1001 to 1111) are accepted by the device.
When sending and receiving such frames, can_frame->len is set to 8 and
can_frame->len8_dlc is set to the actual DLC value. Use the
can_cc_dlc2len() and can_get_cc_dlc() helpers for this.


2/ Your device can support CAN_CTRLMODE_TDC_AUTO:

This is documented in the datasheet at:

  8.8 TDC and RDC

This will allow the use of higher bitrates (e.g. 4 Mbits/s) in CAN-FD.
You can refer to this commit for an example of how to implement it:

  https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/1010a8fa9608


3/ Your device can support CAN_CTRLMODE_3_SAMPLES:

This is called triple mode redundancy (TMR) in your datasheet.


4/ Your device can support CAN_CTRLMODE_LISTENONLY:

This is documented in the datasheet at:

  3.9.10.2. Listen Only Mode (LOM)


5/ Your device can support CAN_CTRLMODE_ONE_SHOT:

This is documented in the datasheet at:

  6.5.3 Single Shot Transmit Trigger


6/ Your device can support CAN_CTRLMODE_BERR_REPORTING:

This is shown in the datasheet at:

  Table 3-24 Error Counter Registers RECNT (0xb2) and TECNT (0xb3)


7/ Your device can support CAN_CTRLMODE_PRESUME_ACK:

c.f. the SACK (self acknowledge) register


So your device comes with MANY features. I would like to see those
implemented in your driver. Most of the time, adding a feature just
means writing one value to a register.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear.


Yours sincerely,
Vincent Mailhol
