Have your heard about the imx8m plus? It has CAN cores! We have a board in the
office to play with. :)

You shall not start projects with 1,5 years old kernel.
And you probably shall not use vendor kernel for new projects.

The sunxi branch has some sunxi SPI driver improvements, the rpi branch some for
the raspi SPI drivers. All branches with the same -xx should have the same
mcp25xxfd driver.
With the exception the latest version is v5.6-rpi/mcp25xxfd-20200607-41, which
is cleaned up for mainlining (it has the logging and dump stuff removed).

Not much, some bus off cleanups, however I've backported all changes to
v4.19-rpi/mcp25xxfd-20200429-41 (debug and log is still included).
When you port this to your mx8 take all from (including)
097701d1ea4f can: dev: avoid long lines
to
v4.19-rpi/mcp25xxfd-20200429-41

Great, looking for feedback! Especially how the driver copes with your fully
loaded bus test.
