Re: [PATCH v6 0/4] can: esd: add support for esd GmbH PCIe/402 CAN interface

["Stefan Mätje" <Stefan.Maetje@esd.eu>]

Hi,

is there any chance to get this patch 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/20211201220328.3079270-1-stefan.maetje@esd.eu/
in the upcoming
5.17 release?

The patch still applies cleanly to linux-can-next "testing" at this tag:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mkl/linux-can-next.git/tag/?h=linux-can-next-for-5.17-20220105

If it helps I would provide a patch v7 that is rebased to the mentioned
tag.

Any comment is appreciated.

Best regards,
    Stefan Mätje
