> When would you want to use it (oh, in the example below)?Im using it in overlays for several raspi hats, e.g. a raspi to click board converter where I add mcp2517fd or mcp2518fd modules without the need to change the overlay. > Can you guarantee Microchip will not introduce other components that > match this wildcard, but are not compatible? Guarantee is quite a strong word :) So far in that name space there are the mcp2510, mcp2515 and mcp25625. From the SW point of view the 2515 and 25625 are identical while being compatible to the mcp2510 but offer more features. There's a single drver (mcp251x) for these. These chips implement the CAN-2.0 standard. Regarding the mcp2517fd and mcp2518fd, the "fd" in the name references the CAN-FD standard (successor to CAN-2.0). Maybe Thomas Kopp (Cc'ed) from Microchip can say something to this. We can rename the compatible to mcp251xfd to make it more specific. regards, Marc -- Pengutronix e.K. | Marc Kleine-Budde | Embedded Linux | https://www.pengutronix.de | Vertretung West/Dortmund | Phone: +49-231-2826-924 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 |
