Freescale decided not to mainline their flexcan changes, moreover they introduces some bugs into the driver. I send some bugfixes but they didn't react. https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/socketcan-users/2011-July/001989.html https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/socketcan-users/2011-July/001990.html https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/socketcan-users/2011-July/001986.html > Does anybody know what needs to be done to get the flexcan driver working > for the P1010 processor?

I started hacking a bit on the driver, but as I don't have any hardware, not clients willing to sponsor (hint, hint!) the work, it's not bit-rotting in my git. Maybe it helps you (thee uppermost patches): http://git.pengutronix.de/?p=mkl/linux-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/can/flexcan-dt/net-next cheers, Marc -- Pengutronix e.K. | Marc Kleine-Budde | Industrial Linux Solutions | Phone: +49-231-2826-924 | Vertretung West/Dortmund | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | http://www.pengutronix.de |
