[RFC PATCH 0/4] can: bxcan: add support for ST bxCAN controller

[Dario Binacchi <dario.binacchi@amarulasolutions.com>]

The series adds support for the basic extended CAN controller (bxCAN)
found in many low- to middle-end STM32 SoCs.

The driver has been tested on the stm32f469i-discovery board with a
kernel version 5.19.0-rc2 in loopback + silent mode:

ip link set can0 type can bitrate 125000 loopback on listen-only on
ip link set up can0
candump can0 -L &
cansend can0 300#AC.AB.AD.AE.75.49.AD.D1

For uboot and kernel compilation, as well as for rootfs creation I used
buildroot:

make stm32f469_disco_sd_defconfig
make

but I had to patch can-utils and busybox as can-utils and iproute are
not compiled for MMU-less microcotrollers. In the case of can-utils,
replacing the calls to fork() with vfork(), I was able to compile the
package with working candump and cansend applications, while in the
case of iproute, I ran into more than one problem and finally I decided
to extend busybox's ip link command for CAN-type devices. I'm still
wondering if it was really necessary, but this way I was able to test
the driver.
