Same for the v3.1 variant. I think that's the eventual goal, but since the ID, DLC, and frame data would have to be contiguous for a single m_can_fifo_write(), you'd end up copying things around. I wanted to start with this smaller, simpler patch first. Is that alright? I'll try to send a v3 up shortly. Best, Matt
