Hello Michal,

your update patch for the MAINTAINERS file ("MAINTAINERS: set up proper
record for Xilinx Zynq")

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c2fd4e38032239746badb0e21d72c3a00438feac

pointed me to your Xilinx repository hosted at github.

There I've seen that there's already a netdevice driver for your Zynq CAN
controller: 

https://github.com/Xilinx/linux-xlnx/blob/master/drivers/net/can/xilinx_can.c

IMHO the commit is already in pretty good shape: 

https://github.com/Xilinx/linux-xlnx/commit/cca204594df616b02c63f91a8b176c2665be57ea

Probably there are only some smaller formatting things to fix, e.g. remove
some debug stuff ...

Btw. is there anything that prevents you from posting your existing driver on
the linux-can mailing list for mainline upstream?

Having this driver in Linux mainline would at least reduce your out-of-tree
maintenance.

Best regards,
Oliver
