[PATCH 2/8] dt-bindings: can: renesas,rcar-canfd: Document RZ/G3S SoC
From: Claudiu Beznea
Date: Tue Jul 07 2026 - 06:29:21 EST
From: Claudiu Beznea <claudiu.beznea.uj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The CAN FD controller found on the Renesas RZ/G3S SoC is largely compatible
with the variant present on the RZ/G3E SoC. The main differences are:
- the RZ/G3S provides only two CAN FD channels
- the RZ/G3S supports only CAN FD operation; the Channel n CAN FD
Configuration Register does not implement the bits used to select
classical CAN-only mode (bit 30) or CAN FD-only mode (bit 28);
consequently, bit 31 (CAN FD Frame Distinction Enable) of the same
register is also not implemented
- some bits in several registers (mainly reserved or status bits) are
read-write on the RZ/G3S but read-only on the RZ/G3E; their behavior is
otherwise identical: the bits read back as 0 on both SoCs and software
is allowed to write only 0 to them on the RZ/G3S
- the RZ/G3S provides 128 acceptance filters, compared to 64 on the
RZ/G3E
- the RZ/G3S can use PCLK clock as the CAN FD clock source through an
internal clock divider, while also supporting an external CAN FD clock
source
Since:
- the SoC clock generator provides to the CAN IP only the peripheral and
the RAM clocks
- when sourced from the peripheral clock, the CAN-FD clock is obtained
inside the IP itself by dividing the peripheral clock
- the assigned-clocks and assigned-clock-rates properties are specific to
the CAN-FD clock
the assigned-clocks and assigned-clock-rates properties were dropped from
the required properties list of the Renesas RZ/G3S SoC.
Add documentation for the Renesas RZ/G3S SoC.
