Re: [PATCH net-next v2 1/4] can: cc770: add driver core for the Bosch CC770 and Intel AN82527

[Oliver Hartkopp <socketcan-fJ+pQTUTwRTk1uMJSBkQmQ@public.gmane.org>]

Hello Wolfgang,

if you come to the point to re-post this patchset you may change this header
information just to a standard GPL header as you used for cc770_isa.c

No need to mention

- Derived from the old Socket-CAN i82527 driver:
- Copyright (c) 2002-2007 Volkswagen Group Electronic Research
- Send feedback to <socketcan-users-0fE9KPoRgkgATYTw5x5z8w@public.gmane.org>

You really reworked the i82527 driver that much, that it is ok to present it
as your originated work ... my driver really wasn't that cool to mention it
here ;-)

Thanks & best regards,
Oliver
