Vincent Mailhol f4303216f4 can: error: specify the values of data[5..7] of CAN error frames
[ Upstream commit e70a3263a7 ]

Currently, data[5..7] of struct can_frame, when used as a CAN error
frame, are defined as being "controller specific". Device specific
behaviours are problematic because it prevents someone from writing
code which is portable between devices.

As a matter of fact, data[5] is never used, data[6] is always used to
report TX error counter and data[7] is always used to report RX error
counter. can-utils also relies on this.

This patch updates the comment in the uapi header to specify that
data[5] is reserved (and thus should not be used) and that data[6..7]
are used for error counters.

Fixes: 0d66548a10 ("[CAN]: Add PF_CAN core module")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
