Patches for Peak CAN driver for MPC5200B?

Patches for Peak CAN driver for MPC5200B?

[Mattias Boström]

Hi,

We are using peak-linux-driver-3.17 with patches from DENX (mpc5200)
and Freescale (mpc5200-platform_driver) on a MPC5200B. We have
problems with rmmod, resulting in kernel panic. We also have a problem
with not detecting BusOff. Does anyone know of additional patches that
solve these problems?
If we solve it ourselfs, would this be a good place to post patches?

Regards,
Mattias

Direct your patches to linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org.  That list gets more reader=
ship.

cc me on any patches that you send to make sure that I see them.

Cheers,

This driver is not maintained any more. Are you aware of the Socket-CAN
project at BerliOS:

http://developer.berlios.de/projects/socketcan/
http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/socketcan/trunk/README?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

It also supports the MSCAN driver and the CAN core will be merged into
2.6.25:

Nevertheless, if you report me your problems, I might be able to help
you. And patches are always welcome.

Wolfgang.
