The PCH CAN driver is a driver for a Bosch C_CAN controller IP core which

I/O Hub (aka EG20T IOH PCH CAN). Since 2012 the driver only has been
maintained by the kernel community.
As there is a well maintained and continously tested C_CAN/D_CAN driver
which also supports the PCI configuration from the PCH CAN EG20T setup
this driver became obsolete.

Given that the current PCH driver will lockup on my system I'm all for
removing it.
:-D
Yes, I'm very grateful that you support the discussion and that you are
able to test the 'good' C_CAN/D_CAN driver on the EG20T until it works
properly.
Your testing is the missing piece to remove the PCH CAN driver.
Many thanks!
