IXXAT CAN-IB2XX drivers

[Eric Stahl <ericstahl@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was beginning to familiarize myself with the ix_active_can drivers for 
IXXAT CAN-IB2XX pci/pcie boards in an attempt to get IXXAT pci/pcie 
drivers into the kernel. I noticed that the device driver distributed by 
HMS 
(https://www.ixxat.com/docs/librariesprovider8/ixxat-english-new/pc-can-interfaces/linux-drivers/socketcan-linux.tgz) 
appears to be using the IFI CAN/CANFD core. There already appears to be 
a kernel driver (ifi_canfd_plat_driver) that leverages the IFI CAN/CANFD 
core. Should I continue to try to get the ix_active_can drivers into the 
kernel or should I try to leverage the existing ifi_canfd_plat_driver? 
If I should leverage the ifi_canfd_plat_driver, what approach should I 
take to get it compatible with the IXXAT pci/pcie cards?

Thanks,

Eric
