[PATCH v3 0/4] CAN TRANSCEIVER: Add support for CAN transceivers

From: Aswath Govindraju
Date: Thu Apr 15 2021 - 10:50:46 EST


The following series of patches add support for CAN transceivers.

TCAN1042 has a standby signal that needs to be pulled high for
sending/receiving messages[1]. TCAN1043 has a enable signal along with
standby signal that needs to be pulled up for sending/receiving
messages[2], and other combinations of the two lines can be used to put the
transceiver in different states to reduce power consumption. On boards
like the AM654-idk and J721e-evm these signals are controlled using gpios.

Patch 1 rewords the comment that restricts max_link_rate attribute to have
units of Mbps.

Patch 2 adds an API for devm_of_phy_optional_get_by_index

Patch 3 models the transceiver as a phy device tree node with properties
for max bit rate supported, gpio properties for indicating gpio pin numbers
to which standby and enable signals are connected.

Patch 4 adds a generic driver to support CAN transceivers.

changes since v2:
- dropped 5 and 6 patches and to be sent via linux-can-next
- added static keyword for can_transceiver_phy_probe()
- changed enable gpio example to active high in patch 3
- Rearranged the file names in alphabetical order in Makefile
and MAINTAINERS file

changes since v1:
- Added patch 1 (in v2) that rewords the comment that restrict
max_link_rate attribute to have units of Mbps.
- Added patch 2 (in v2) that adds an API for
devm_of_phy_optional_get_by_index
- Patch 1 (in v1)
- updated MAINTAINERS file
- Patch 2 (in v1)
- replaced m_can with CAN to make the driver independent of CAN driver
- Added prefix CAN_TRANSCEIVER for EN_PRESENT and STB_PRESENT
- Added new line before return statements in power_on() and power_off
- Added error handling patch for devm_kzalloc()
- used the max_link_rate attribute directly instead of dividing it by
1000000
- removed the spaces before GPIOD_OUT_LOW in devm_gpiod_get()
- Corrected requested value for standby-gpios to GPIOD_OUT_HIGH
- Updated MAINTAINERS file
- Patch 3 (in v1)
- replaced minItems with maxItems
- Removed phy-names property as there is only one phy
- Patch 4 (in v1)
- replaced dev_warn with dev_info when no transceiver is found
- Added struct phy * field in m_can_classdev struct
- moved phy_power_on and phy_power_off to m_can_open and m_can_close
respectively
- Moved the check for max_bit_rate to generice transceiver driver
