    can: remove CAN FD compatibility for CAN 2.0 sockets · 821047c4
    Oliver Hartkopp 提交于
    In commit e2d265d3 (canfd: add support for CAN FD in CAN_RAW sockets)
    CAN FD frames with a payload length up to 8 byte are passed to legacy
    sockets where the CAN FD support was not enabled by the application.
    
    After some discussions with developers at a fair this well meant feature
    leads to confusion as no clean switch for CAN / CAN FD is provided to the
    application programmer. Additionally a compatibility like this for legacy
    CAN_RAW sockets requires some compatibility handling for the sending, e.g.
    make CAN2.0 frames a CAN FD frame with BRS at transmission time (?!?).
    
    This will become a mess when people start to develop applications with
    real CAN FD hardware. This patch reverts the bad compatibility code
    together with the documentation describing the removed feature.
