Re: can: Use common error handling code in vxcan_newlink()

[Oliver Hartkopp]

Hi Markus,

this discussion went far beyond the original posted patch for vxcan.c

I would suggest you post your idea of the simplified error handling flow 
in vxcan.c just on linux-can ML (which is the right mailing list for CAN 
related stuff).

Thanks,
Oliver
