[ Upstream commite70a3263a7] 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.

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.
