[PATCH v4 0/2] can: esd: add support for esd GmbH PCIe/402 CAN interface

[Stefan Mätje]

The purpose of this patch is to introduce a new CAN driver to support
the esd GmbH 402 family of CAN interface boards. The hardware design
is based on a CAN controller implemented in a FPGA attached to a
PCIe link.

More information on these boards can be found following the links
included in the commit message.

This patch supports all boards but will operate the CAN-FD capable
boards only in Classic-CAN mode. The CAN-FD support will be added
when the initial patch has stabilized.

The patch is based on the previous work of my former colleague:

*Note*: scripts/checkpatch.pl still emits the following warnings:
  - esd_402_pci-core.c:270: Possible unnecessary 'out of memory' message
    This error message is there to tell the user that the DMA allocation
    failed and not an allocation for normal kernel memory.
  - esdacc.h:255: The irq_cnt pointer is still declared volatile and
    this has a reason and is explained in detail in the header
    referencing the exception noted in volatile-considered-harmful.rst.


Changes in v4:
  - Fixed the build failure on ARCH=arm64 that was found by the Intel
    kernel test robot. See
    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/202109120608.7ZbQXkRh-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/

    Removed error monitoring code that used GCC's built-in compiler
    functions for atomic access (__sync_* functions). GCC versions
    after 9 (tested with "gcc-10 (Ubuntu 10.3.0-1ubuntu1~20.04)")
    don't implement the intrinsic atomic as in-line code but call
    "__aarch64_ldadd4_acq_rel" on arm64. This GCC support function
    is not exported by the kernel and therefore the module build
    post-processing fails.

    Removed that code because the error monitoring never showed a
    problem during the development this year.


Changes in v3:
  - Rework the bus-off restart logic in acc_set_mode() and
    handle_core_msg_errstatechange() to call netif_wake_queue() from the
    error active event.
  - Changed pci402_init_card() to allocate a variable sized array of
    struct acc_core using devm_kcalloc() instead of using a fixed size
    array in struct pci402_card.
  - Changed handle_core_msg_txabort() to release aborted TX frames in
    TX FIFO order.
  - Fixed the acc_close() function to abort all pending TX request in
    esdACC controller.
  - Fixed counting of transmit aborts in handle_core_msg_txabort().
    It is now done like in can_flush_echo_skb().
  - Fixed handle_core_msg_buserr() to create error frames including the
    CAN RX and TX error counters that were missing.
  - Fixed acc_set_bittiming() neither to touch LOM mode setting of
    esdACC controller nor to enter or leave RESET mode.
    The esdACC controller is going active on the CAN bus in acc_open()
    and is going inactive (RESET mode) again in acc_close().
  - Rely on the automatic release of memory fetched by devm_kzalloc().
    But still use devm_irq_free() explicitely to make sure that the
    interrupt handler is disconnected at that point.
    This avoids a possible crash in non-MSI mode due to the IRQ
    triggered by another device on the same PCI IRQ line.
  - Changed to use DMA map API instead of pci_*_consistent compatibility
    wrappers.
  - Fixed stale email references and updated copyright information.
  - Removed any traces of future CAN-FD support.


Changes in v2:
  - Avoid warning triggered by -Wshift-count-overflow on architectures
    with 32-bit dma_addr_t.
  - Fixed Makefile not to build the kernel module always. Doing this
    renamed esd402_pci.c to esd_402_pci-core.c as recommended by Marc.
