Please apply appropriate change and check if the driver still works if

I tested this patch:

Bus load PC -> mcf5441x tested by

ip link set can0 type can bitrate 1000000
ip link set can0 up
cangen can0 -g 0

On target (mcf54415)
candump can0

It works, even better then FIFO mode.

What's the difference, does it produce less overruns?

While unfortunately, RTR rx does not work. Tested it by putting
a trace in flexcan_mailbox_read()

	if (reg_ctrl & FLEXCAN_MB_CNT_RTR) {
		printk("%s() RX RTR frame\n", __func__);
		cfd->can_id |= CAN_RTR_FLAG;
	}

on host pc i used:

cangen can0 -R

No sign of RTR in rx. While in FIFO mode i can see it.

Ok, then I enable the mailbox support for the mcf5441x and fix the note
that the IP core doesn't support RTR reception via mailboxes. See the
following patch:

| https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220121084425.3141218-1-mkl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you have time, please test and add your Tested-by.

You can switch to mailbox mode during runtime, if the interface is down:

| ethtool --set-priv-flags can0 rx-rtr off

With ethtool you can query the number of used RX and TX buffers:

| ethtool --show-ring can0

The FIFO mode uses 6 RX buffers, while mailbox mode will probably use
14.

regards,
Marc
