"can: Add support for Bosch D_CAN controller" would be perfectly fine. The correct way is: 1. post your new CAN driver to linux-can ML 2. When the major reviews & style fixes are done and the driver is fit for mainline you can post it on ti-omap ML too But an initial cross-posting of this CAN driver to netdev ML and linux-kernel ML does not help anyone - it only increases traffic & confusion.
