[RESEND PATCH v7 0/5] can: bxcan: add support for ST bxCAN controller

Tue Mar 21 04:25:15 PDT 2023

A gentle ping to remind you of this series.
I have no idea why it hasn't deserved any response for quite some
time.
Is there anything I am still missing?

Please let me know.

Thanks and regards,

Dario
