can: slcan: use CAN network device driver API
As suggested by commit [1], now the driver uses the functions and the
data structures provided by the CAN network device driver interface.
Currently the driver doesn't implement a way to set bitrate for SLCAN
based devices via ip tool, so you'll have to do this by slcand or
slcan_attach invocation through the -sX parameter:
- slcan_attach -f -s6 -o /dev/ttyACM0
- slcand -f -s8 -o /dev/ttyUSB0
where -s6 in will set adapter's bitrate to 500 Kbit/s and -s8 to
1Mbit/s.
See the table below for further CAN bitrates:
- s0 -> 10 Kbit/s
- s1 -> 20 Kbit/s
- s2 -> 50 Kbit/s
- s3 -> 100 Kbit/s
- s4 -> 125 Kbit/s
- s5 -> 250 Kbit/s
- s6 -> 500 Kbit/s
- s7 -> 800 Kbit/s
- s8 -> 1000 Kbit/s
In doing so, the struct can_priv::bittiming.bitrate of the driver is not
set and since the open_candev() checks that the bitrate has been set, it
must be a non-zero value, the bitrate is set to a fake value (-1U)
before it is called.
Using the rtnl_lock()/rtnl_unlock() functions has become a bit more
tricky as the register_candev() function indirectly calls rtnl_lock()
via register_netdev(). To avoid a deadlock it is therefore necessary to
call rtnl_unlock() before calling register_candev(). The same goes for
the unregister_candev() function.
