The D_CAN controller supports up to 128 messages. Until now the driver
only managed 32 messages although Sitara processors and DRA7 SOC can
handle 64.

The series was tested on a beaglebone board.

Note:
I have not changed the type of tx_field (belonging to the c_can_priv
structure) to atomic64_t because I think the atomic_t type has size
of at least 32 bits on x86 and arm, which is enough to handle 64
messages.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-can&m=139746476821294&w=2 reports the results
of tests performed just on x86 and arm architectures.

Changes in v4:
- Restore IF_RX interface.
- Add a comment to clarify why IF_RX interface is used instead of IF_TX.
- Use GENMASK() for setting msg_obj_rx_mask.
- Use BIT() for setting single bits and GENMASK() for setting masks.

Changes in v3:
- Use unsigned int instead of int as type of the msg_obj_* fields
  in the c_can_priv structure.
- Replace (u64)1 with 1UL in msg_obj_rx_mask setting.
- Use unsigned int instead of int as type of the msg_obj_num field
  in c_can_driver_data and c_can_pci_data structures.

Changes in v2:
- Fix compiling error reported by kernel test robot.
- Add Reported-by tag.
- Pass larger size to alloc_candev() routine to avoid an additional
  memory allocation/deallocation.
- Add message objects number to PCI driver data.

Applied to linux-can-next/testing.

I've added some cleanup patches to the series. I'll send it around soon,
please test.

regards,
Marc
