====================
pull-request: can-next 2026-08-18

The first patch is by Sean Nyekjaer, targets the tcan4x5x driver and
puts the device into sleep mode before removing the driver.

Pavel Pisa's patch fixes the colors in the documentation of the TX
buffer FSM of CTU CAN FD driver.

2 patches by Cunhao Lu add support for the rockchip 3588 SoC to the
rockchip CAN-FD driver.

Kuniyuki Iwashima contributes per-netns device unregistration for the
vxcan driver.

Eduard Bostina converts the TI HECC DT bindings doc to DT schema.

Harini T contributes 2 patches to the xilinx_can driver to document
phys and update maintainer.

A patch by bui duc phuc converts the m_can driver to use
of_property_present() for wakeup-source.

Fanbo He's patch fixes a typo in the gs_usb driver.

The last patch is by Markus Schneider-Pargmann and removed not needed
driver_data from the m_can PCI driver.

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
