Greg Kroah-Hartman e2be04c7f9 License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license
Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

Andri Yngvason bac78aabcf can: dev: Consolidate and unify state change handling
The handling of can error states is different between platforms.
This is an attempt to correct that problem.

I've moved this handling into a generic function for changing the
error state. This ensures that error state changes are handled
the same way everywhere (where this function is used).

This new mechanism also adds reverse state transitioning in error
frames, i.e. the user will be notified through the socket interface
when the state goes down.

Oliver Hartkopp 42193e3efb can: unify identifiers to ensure unique include processing
Armin pointed me to the fact that the identifier which is used to ensure the
unique include processing in lunux/include/uapi/linux/can.h is CAN_H.
This clashed with his own source as includes from libraries and APIs should
use an underscore '_' at the identifier start.

This patch fixes the protection identifiers in all CAN relavant includes.

Uwe Kleine-König 2485602f1a can: add explicit copyrights to can headers
These files are copied to the source code of user space applications (in
this case can-utils) and so it makes sense to mention explicitly their
copyright. I added the terms of C code that was introduced in the same
commit as these headers.
