Hello Pavel,

thanks for review.

My original code has not || COMPILE_TEST alternative.

But I have been asked to add it

I have send discussion later that I am not sure if it is right
but followed suggestion. If there is no other reply now,
I would drop || COMPILE_TEST. I believe that then it is correct
for regular use. I ma not sure about all consequences of COMPILE_TEST
missing.

This is more tough question. We have kept sources
as ctu_can_fd.c, ctu_can_fd_hw.c etc. to produce
final ctucanfd.ko which matches device tree entry etc.
after name simplification now...
So we move from underscores to ctucanfd on more places.
So yes, we can rename ctu_can_fd.c to ctucanfd_drv.c + others
keep final ctucanfd.ko and change to single file based objects
ctucanfd_platform.c and ctucanfd_pci.c

If you think that it worth to be redone, I would do that.
It would disrupt sources history, may it be blames, merging
etc... but I would invest effort into it if asked for. 

Best wishes,
