Judith Mendez April 24, 2023, 7:53 p.m. UTC
Add an hrtimer to MCAN class device. Each MCAN will have its own
hrtimer instantiated if there is no hardware interrupt found and
poll-interval property is defined in device tree M_CAN node.

The hrtimer will generate a software interrupt every 1 ms. In
hrtimer callback, we check if there is a transaction pending by
reading a register, then process by calling the isr if there is.

Changelog:
v2:
	1. Add poll-interval to MCAN class device to check if poll-interval propery is
	present in MCAN node, this enables timer polling method.
	2. Add 'polling' flag to MCAN class device to check if a device is using timer
	polling method
	3. Check if both timer polling and hardware interrupt are enabled for a MCAN
	device, default to hardware interrupt mode if both are enabled.
	4. Changed ms_to_ktime() to ns_to_ktime()
	5. Removed newlines, tabs, and restructure if/else section.

use platform_get_irq_byname_optional(), it doesn't print an error
message.

please move the error check for "addr" directly after the "addr = "
assignment.

No need to init as "0"

No need for the { } here.

print a proper error message using dev_err_probe("IRQ %s not found and
polling not activated\n")

combine both if (mcan_class->polling) into one.

Why %s when MCAN requests 1 IRQ which is "int0"? If we want to print 
"int0", should it be hardcoded into the print error message?

I think I copied the error message from platform_get_irq_byname() and
extended it. Of course it makes sense to hardcode the IRQ name.

Hi Judith,

This function seems to only be used in this file,
so it should be static.
