As you mentioned further down, when a user does this
"ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 1000000"
the intention is to put the controller in CAN 2.0 mode. Even if we use a status flag or copy the data bitrate equal to the nominal bitrate, what would it achieve? It still cannot be a CAN 2.0 node - it is a CAN FD node configured with same nominal & data bitrate.
This is why I have this check in ndo_open, so that the user is aware it is a CAN FD node always and avoid misconfiguration like above with EOPNOTSUPP.
ok - got it now.
In fact you provided a CAN driver which is "CAN-FD-only".
We did not had that before but there's a solution for this kind of setup.
There is a similar case with CAN_CTRLMODE_FD_NON_ISO we had on the M_CAN
driver which only provides non-ISO configuration for the supported IP core and
_no_ option to _change_ this value:

If you would do it similar in rcar_canfd.c with
/* CAN_CTRLMODE_FD is fixed with R-Car CAN FD */
priv->can.ctrlmode = CAN_CTRLMODE_FD;
and remove CAN_CTRLMODE_FD from the priv->can.ctrlmode_supported assignment
then it should do the entire configuration process correctly for you.
Including the proper tests for the two bitrates.
(see open_candev() in linux/drivers/net/can/dev.c)
Right?
Best regards,
Oliver
