First thing, I used netdev_vdbg() (verbose debug). That macro
will only produce code if VERBOSE_DEBUG is defined. Normal users
will not see those. So yes, this is mostly for development.

Also, just realised that netdev_vdbg() is barely used
anywhere (only three files use it:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.11-rc3/C/ident/netdev_vdbg).

I guess that I will remove it :)

Ack, will remove.

Would make sense to me to add the tdco (Transmitter Delay
Compensation Offset). Ref: ISO 11898-1 section
11.3.3 "Transmitter delay compensation"

I would just like your opinion on one topic: the tdco is specific
to CAN FD. If we add it, we have two choices:
  1. put it in struct can_bittiming: that will mean that we will
     have an unused field for classical CAN (field bittiming of
     struct can_priv).
  2. put it in struct can_priv (but outside of struct
     can_bittiming): no unused field but less pretty.

I think that 1/ is best.


Yours sincerely,
Vincent
