Marc Kleine-Budde says: ==================== pull-request: can-next 2020-09-30 this is a pull request of 13 patches for net-next. The first 10 target the mcp25xxfd driver (which is renamed to mcp251xfd during this series). The first two patches are by Thomas Kopp, which adds reference to the just related errata and updates the documentation and log messages. Dan Carpenter's patch fixes a resource leak during ifdown. A patch by me adds the missing initialization of a variable. Oleksij Rempel updates the DT binding documentation as requested by Rob Herring. The next 5 patches are by Thomas Kopp and me. During review Geert Uytterhoeven suggested to use "microchip,mcp251xfd" instead of "microchip,mcp25xxfd" as the DT autodetection compatible to avoid clashes with future but incompatible devices. We decided not only to rename the compatible but the whole driver from "mcp25xxfd" to "mcp251xfd". This is done in several patches. Joakim Zhang contributes three patches for the flexcan driver. The first one adds support for the ECC feature, which is implemented on some modern IP cores, by initializing the controller's memory during ifup. The next patch adds support for the i.MX8MP (which supports ECC) and the last patch properly disables the runtime PM if device registration fails. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
