In [1], we introduced a set of units in linux/can/bittiming.h. Since
then, generic SI prefixes were added to linux/units.h in [2]. Those
new prefixes can perfectly replace CAN specific ones.
This patch replaces all occurrences of the CAN units with their
corresponding prefix (from linux/units) and the unit (as a comment)
according to below table.
CAN units SI metric prefix (from linux/units) + unit (as a comment)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAN_KBPS KILO /* BPS */
CAN_MBPS MEGA /* BPS */
CAM_MHZ MEGA /* Hz */
The definition are then removed from linux/can/bittiming.h

CAN_MHZ macros")

The function can_calc_tdco() directly retrieves can_priv from the
net_device and directly modifies it.
This is annoying for the upcoming patch. In
drivers/net/can/dev/netlink.c:can_changelink(), the data bittiming are
written to a temporary structure and memcpyed to can_priv only after
everything succeeded. In the next patch, where we will introduce the
netlink interface for TDC parameters, we will add a new TDC block
which can potentially fail. For this reason, the data bittiming
temporary structure has to be copied after that to-be-introduced TDC
block. However, TDC also needs to access data bittiming information.
We change the prototype so that the data bittiming structure is passed
to can_calc_tdco() as an argument instead of retrieving it from
priv. This way can_calc_tdco() can access the data bittiming before it
gets memcpyed to priv.

In the current implementation, all Transmission Delay Compensation
(TDC) parameters are expressed in time quantum. However, ISO 11898-1
actually specifies that these should be expressed in *minimum* time
quantum.
Furthermore, the minimum time quantum is specified to be "one node
clock period long" (c.f. paragraph 11.3.1.1 "Bit time"). For sake of
simplicity, we prefer to use the "clock period" term instead of
"minimum time quantum" because we believe that it is more broadly
understood.
This patch fixes that discrepancy by updating the documentation and
the formula for TDCO calculation.
N.B. In can_calc_tdco(), the sample point (in time quantum) was
calculated using a division, thus introducing a risk of rounding and
truncation errors. On top of changing the unit to clock period, we
also modified the formula to use only additions.

ISO 11898-1 specifies in section 11.3.3 "Transmitter delay
compensation" that "the configuration range for [the] SSP position
shall be at least 0 to 63 minimum time quanta."
Because SSP = TDCV + TDCO, it means that we should allow both TDCV and
TDCO to hold zero value in order to honor SSP's minimum possible
value.
However, current implementation assigned special meaning to TDCV and
TDCO's zero values:
* TDCV = 0 -> TDCV is automatically measured by the transceiver.
* TDCO = 0 -> TDC is off.
In order to allow for those values to really be zero and to maintain
current features, we introduce two new flags:
* CAN_CTRLMODE_TDC_AUTO indicates that the controller support
automatic measurement of TDCV.
* CAN_CTRLMODE_TDC_MANUAL indicates that the controller support
manual configuration of TDCV. N.B.: current implementation failed
to provide an option for the driver to indicate that only manual
mode was supported.
TDC is disabled if both CAN_CTRLMODE_TDC_AUTO and
CAN_CTRLMODE_TDC_MANUAL flags are off, c.f. the helper function
can_tdc_is_enabled() which is also introduced in this patch.
Also, this patch adds three fields: tdcv_min, tdco_min and tdcf_min to
struct can_tdc_const. While we are not convinced that those three
fields could be anything else than zero, we can imagine that some
controllers might specify a lower bound on these. Thus, those minimums
are really added "just in case".
Comments of struct can_tdc and can_tdc_const are updated accordingly.
Finally, the changes are applied to the etas_es58x driver.

This patch fixes a typo in the documentation for struct can_tdc::tdcv.
The number "0" refers to automatic mode not the letter "O".
Further two grammar errors in the documentation for struct can_tdc are
fixed.
First grammar error: add a missing third person 's'.
Second grammar error: replace "such as" by "such that". The intent is
to give a condition, not an example.

Add three macro to simplify the readability of big bit timing numbers:
- CAN_KBPS: kilobits per second (one thousand)
- CAN_MBPS: megabits per second (one million)
- CAN_MHZ: megahertz per second (one million)
Example:
u32 bitrate_max = 8 * CAN_MBPS;
struct can_clock clock = {.freq = 80 * CAN_MHZ};
instead of:
u32 bitrate_max = 8000000;
struct can_clock clock = {.freq = 80000000};
Apply the new macro to driver/net/can/dev/bittiming.c.

The logic for the tdco calculation is to just reuse the normal sample
point: tdco = sp. Because the sample point is expressed in tenth of
percent and the tdco is expressed in time quanta, a conversion is
needed.
At the end,
ssp = tdcv + tdco
= tdcv + sp.
Another popular method is to set tdco to the middle of the bit:
tdc->tdco = can_bit_time(dbt) / 2
During benchmark tests, we could not find a clear advantages for one
of the two methods.
The tdco calculation is triggered each time the data_bittiming is
changed so that users relying on automated calculation can use the
netlink interface the exact same way without need of new parameters.
For example, a command such as:
ip link set canX type can bitrate 500000 dbitrate 4000000 fd on
would trigger the calculation.
The user using CONFIG_CAN_CALC_BITTIMING who does not want automated
calculation needs to manually set tdco to zero.
For example with:
ip link set canX type can tdco 0 bitrate 500000 dbitrate 4000000 fd on
(if the tdco parameter is provided in a previous command, it will be
overwritten).
If tdcv is set to zero (default), it is automatically calculated by
the transiver for each frame. As such, there is no code in the kernel
to calculate it.
tdcf has no automated calculation functions because we could not
figure out a formula for this parameter.
