[PATCH v2] can: c_can: Use platform id data when OF data is absent

From: Pengpeng Hou

Date: Thu Jun 25 2026 - 01:42:20 EST


The platform driver keeps controller metadata in both the OF match table
and the platform id table. Probe reads the metadata with
device_get_match_data(), which does not fall back to platform id-table
driver_data.

When the device is matched through the platform id table, drvdata can
therefore be NULL before it is dereferenced for msg_obj_num and the
controller type. Fall back to platform_get_device_id() when firmware
match data is not available.

Changes in v2:
- Add the Fixes tag requested by Vincent.
- Scope the platform id variable inside the fallback block.
- Carry Vincent's Reviewed-by for the requested v2 shape.
