[v2,0/5] can: bxcan: add support for single peripheral configuration

Message

The series adds support for managing bxCAN controllers in single peripheral
configuration.
Unlike stm32f4 SOCs, where bxCAN controllers are only in dual peripheral
configuration, stm32f7 SOCs contain three CAN peripherals, CAN1 and CAN2
in dual peripheral configuration and CAN3 in single peripheral
configuration:
- Dual CAN peripheral configuration:
 * CAN1: Primary bxCAN for managing the communication between a secondary
   bxCAN and the 512-byte SRAM memory.
 * CAN2: Secondary bxCAN with no direct access to the SRAM memory.
   This means that the two bxCAN cells share the 512-byte SRAM memory and
   CAN2 can't be used without enabling CAN1.
- Single CAN peripheral configuration:
 * CAN3: Primary bxCAN with dedicated Memory Access Controller unit and
   512-byte SRAM memory.

The driver has been tested on the stm32f769i-discovery board with a
kernel version 5.19.0-rc2 in loopback + silent mode:

ip link set can[0-2] type can bitrate 125000 loopback on listen-only on
ip link set up can[0-2]
candump can[0-2] -L &
cansend can[0-2] 300#AC.AB.AD.AE.75.49.AD.D1


Changes in v2:
- s/fiter/filter/ in the commit message
- Replace struct bxcan_mb::primary with struct bxcan_mb::cfg.
- Move after the patch "can: bxcan: add support for single peripheral configuration".
- Add node gcan3.
- Rename gcan as gcan1.
- Add property "st,can-secondary" to can2 node.
- Drop patch "dt-bindings: mfd: stm32f7: add binding definition for CAN3"
  because it has been accepted.
- Add patch "ARM: dts: stm32f429: put can2 in secondary mode".
- Add patch "dt-bindings: net: can: add "st,can-secondary" property".

Dario Binacchi (5):

This really looks good! Great work! Who takes the DT changes? I can take
the whole series.
