Ok, I see. Can you point me to that discussion?
Wolfgang, I'm a bit worried by the API being split between sockets and sysfs.
The problem is that once the sysfs API is established, users will start
relying on it, and you can no longer migrate away from it, even when
a later version of the Socket CAN also supports setting through a different
interface. What is the current interface to set mail box IDs in software?
How hard would it be to implement that feature in Socket CAN?
Is that something that Subhasish or someone else could to as a prerequisite
to merging the driver?
