Hello Marc,

thanks for your review. I see I forgot to put dt bindings as the first
commit, I've reordered it locally so I won't forget again.

Sure, the one day limit was rather arbitrary, I wanted to keep the load
on the system minimal.

Ok I'll cast the u32 to unsigned long, as 'long' is guaranteed to be at
least 32 bits.

Sure, inline seems reasonable here.

Yes, I see no problem when two ctucan_read_timestamp_counter run
concurrently, same goes for two ctucan_skb_set_timestamp and 
ctucan_skb_set_timestamp concurrently with
ctucan_read_timestamp_counter.
The _counter() function only reads from the core's registers and returns
a new timestamp. The _set_timestamp() only writes to the skb, but the
skb will be allocated new in every _rx_poll() call.

The only concurrency issue I can remotely see is when the periodic worker
updates timecounter->cycle_last, right when the value is used in
timecounter_cyc2time (from _set_timestamp()). But I don't think this is
worth using some synchronization primitive.

Ok, I've deleted the extra newline (one is still here below btw - seems
to me you're pointing out that the code isn't in one continuous block;
double newline wouldn't be a nitpick for me).

Ack.

Even in this patch the clock-names isn't a required property in the DT.
But I can add a comment explaining the situation.

Ok, false and NULL deleted.

Sure I'll move it (into the 'if' branch).

Cc.mask is always used in ctucan_read_rx_frame(), cc.read isn't used
when timestamps aren't possible. I can move cc.read inside the 'if' for
maximal efficiency.

This is a good point, thanks. I'll incorporate it into the patch.
