Hallo Marc,

I would be glad if you could upstream this patch together with the now 
sashiko-approved fixes for can-bcm and can-isotp:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/[email protected]/

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/[email protected]/

Those are at least the fixes I'm aware off.

Best regards,
Oliver

ps. a later update of can-next would be nice too.
