Add a hrtimer to MCAN struct. Each MCAN will have its own

The hrtimer will generate a software interrupt every 1 ms. In

Are you sure about the 1ms?

hrtimer callback, we check if there is a transaction pending by
reading a register, then process by calling the isr if there is.

Make it a dev_dbg() or remove completely.


Will do, thanks.

I have removed ret completely now.

There's ms_to_ktime()....and the "5" doesn't match your patch
description.

IMHO it makes no sense to request an IRQ if the device doesn't have one,
and then try to fix up things in the error path. What about this?

Thanks for the recommendation, I will include in v2.

What about the IS_ERR(addr) case?


Added, thanks.

I don't like it when polling is unconditionally set up in case of an irq
error. I'm not sure if we need an explicit device tree property....

This is an interesting thought, I would definitely like to look more into this. Though I am thinking it would be part of future optimization patch. Thanks so much for your recommendation.

regards,
Judith
