Merge patch series "can: bittiming: cleanups and rework SJW handling"

Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de> says:

several people noticed that on modern CAN controllers with wide bit
timing registers the default SJW of 1 can result in unstable or no
synchronization to the CAN network. See Patch 14/17 for details.

During review of v1 Vincent pointed out that the original code and the
series doesn't always check user provided bit timing parameters,
sometimes silently limits them and the return error values are not
consistent.

This series first cleans up some code in bittiming.c, replacing
open-coded variants by macros or functions (Patches 1, 2).

Patch 3 adds the missing assignment of the effective TQ if the
interface is configured with low level timing parameters.

Patch 4 is another code cleanup.

Patches 5, 6 check the bit timing parameter during interface
registration.

Patch 7 adds a validation of the sample point.

The patches 8-13 convert the error messages from netdev_err() to
NL_SET_ERR_MSG_FMT, factor out the SJW handling from
can_fixup_bittiming(), add checking and error messages for the
individual limits and harmonize the error return values.

Patch 14 changes the default SJW value from 1 to min(Phase Seg1, Phase
Seg2 / 2).

Patch 15 switches can_calc_bittiming() to use the new SJW handling.

Patch 16 converts can_calc_bittiming() to NL_SET_ERR_MSG_FMT().

And patch 16 adds a NL_SET_ERR_MSG_FMT() error message to
can_validate_bitrate().
