Wolfgang Grandegger 39549eef35 can: CAN Network device driver and Netlink interface
The CAN network device driver interface provides a generic interface to
setup, configure and monitor CAN network devices. It exports a set of
common data structures and functions, which all real CAN network device
drivers should use. Please have a look to the SJA1000 or MSCAN driver
to understand how to use them. The name of the module is can-dev.ko.

Furthermore, it adds a Netlink interface allowing to configure the CAN
device using the program "ip" from the iproute2 utility suite.

For further information please check "Documentation/networking/can.txt"

config CAN_VCAN
tristate "Virtual Local CAN Interface (vcan)"
depends on CAN
default N
---help---
Similar to the network loopback devices, vcan offers a
virtual local CAN interface.
This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
will be called vcan.
config CAN_DEV
tristate "Platform CAN drivers with Netlink support"
depends on CAN
default Y
---help---
Enables the common framework for platform CAN drivers with Netlink
support. This is the standard library for CAN drivers.
If unsure, say Y.
config CAN_CALC_BITTIMING
bool "CAN bit-timing calculation"
depends on CAN_DEV
default Y
---help---
If enabled, CAN bit-timing parameters will be calculated for the
bit-rate specified via Netlink argument "bitrate" when the device
get started. This works fine for the most common CAN controllers
with standard bit-rates but may fail for exotic bit-rates or CAN
source clock frequencies. Disabling saves some space, but then the
bit-timing parameters must be specified directly using the Netlink
arguments "tq", "prop_seg", "phase_seg1", "phase_seg2" and "sjw".
If unsure, say Y.
config CAN_DEBUG_DEVICES
bool "CAN devices debugging messages"
depends on CAN
default N
---help---
Say Y here if you want the CAN device drivers to produce a bunch of
debug messages to the system log. Select this if you are having
a problem with CAN support and want to see more of what is going
on.
