Hello everybody,
my colleague at Elektroline.cz works on design of iMX6
based system with CAN FD support realized by tcan4x5x
chip connected to eCSPI. It seems that there are problems
with eCSPI DMA stucks and other troubles. When the same
chip (or even Microchip's mcp251xfd) is connected to
other (less industry sound platforms) as Allwinner etc...
drivers seems to work reliably, but tests on iMX6 results
in failures. They consider fast redesign to slCAN connected
second Microchip MCU to resolve critical problem for the
project now....

We can rebuild kernel, test patches, try to investgate what happens.
All suggestions what to test and what can be cause welcomed.
Thanks in advance,
