Hello, guys,

I'm looking at linux-can/can-modules tree:

2011-06-26 12:47 Oliver Hartkopp
  minor doc changes ... tbc

2011-06-10 19:08 Oliver Hartkopp
  documentation: rework chapter numbering & references

...

2010-11-22 19:41 Oliver Hartkopp
  Added new documentation layout contributed by Daniele Venzano.

Why are all these changes still not in the kernel? I'm not sure if this
is a good idea to split the documentation, but the patches introduce
some new helpful information.

Hence a little follow-up question:

> The timestamp on Linux has a resolution of one microsecond and it is
> set automatically at the reception of a CAN frame.

It seems to me this is not entirely true as the kernel has a support for
SO_TIMESTAMPNS socket option for quite a long time. Could you really use
that option with CAN? Does it make sense to use nanosecond timestamps?
I'm also a bit confused whether these are only the software timestamps
or you can somehow get them from a controller too.
