This patch series adds support for the Janz CMOD-IO carrier board, as well as the Janz VMOD-ICAN3 Intelligent CAN controller and the Janz VMOD-TTL Digital IO controller. The CMOD-IO carrier board is a PCI to MODULbus bridge, into which plug MODULbus daughterboards. I only have access to two types of daughtercards, the VMOD-ICAN3 and VMOD-TTL boards mentioned above.
The CAN driver has been tested under high loads. I am able to generate ~60% bus utilization. With two VMOD-ICAN3 boards looped back to each other, neither one loses any packets when only a single board is generating packets at maximum speed. Once both boards start generating packets, one board will sometimes loose arbitration, and cause some lost packets.
RFCv3 -> RFCv4: - addressed many review comments - switch to NAPI - add TX flow control - mark functions with __devinit and __devexit - add sysfs readout of MODULbus number (hex switch) - implement GPIO driver for VMOD-TTL
RFCv2 -> RFCv3: - addressed many review comments - correct CAN bus error handling - use struct device to track subdevices - use structures for register layout - add lots of #defines for register values - use better function prefixes
RFCv1 -> RFCv2: - converted to a multi-driver model - addressed many review comments - added CAN bus error handling - use a work function only instead of work + NAPI - use SJA1000 bittiming calculation code
I apologize if I've CC'd too many people here, but I'm unsure if people would rather see the whole patch series, or just each part.
I appreciate any review you can offer.
Thanks, Ira
