Hi all, we are now moving from 3.10 to 4.9.88 kernel on our project. I was wondering which J1939 impelmentation chose: -the old one (we have allready used on 3.10) with iproute2 patched (but it seems this version has not been updated since a long time (kernel 4.0.0?)
this variant will never change, it is all about you to fix and maintaine it.
-or the new one which is on can-next branch (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mkl/linux-can-next.git/log/?h=j1939) but i'm not sure if it was tested on a 4.9 kernel (seems the branch comes from 5.0 kernel)
this variant is work in progress for mainline. At this point you still have a chance to influence the UAPI, adopt your software to it and be able to use latest fixes.
We have the opporunities to change, and our client agree with this, but i owuld like to be sure to make the correct choice.

What is your opinion on this?
Be in sync with mainline is usually best choice at start of project and probably not so good choice at start of production.
