Thank you very much for the guidance! :-P

I just checked: the "can: skb: make CAN skb freeing safe in any IRQ
context" series was merged into mainline yesterday, so I won't send a
new version of it. I'll remove its link from the cover letter.

The "can: rockchip_canfd: fix TX stalls and races" series still has some
issues reported by the bots during submission to the net tree that I
need to address. Since those patches overlap with this series, I plan
to fold them into the next version (v8) and send them together.

Best regards,
Cunhao Lu
