You do not need two SoBs. Keep only one, matching the From field.

File name like compatible, so st,stm32-bxcan-core.yaml (or some other

compatibles are supposed to be specific. If this is some type of
micro-SoC, then it should have its name/number. If it is dedicated
device, is the final name bxcan core? Google says the first is true, so
you miss specific device part.

Why exactly do you need compatible for the child? Is it an entierly
separate device?
Comments about specific part are applied here as well.

Is this a standard property? I don't see it anywhere else. Non-standard

I started implementing this driver in my spare time, so my intention
was to keep track of it.

I don't know if I understand correctly, I hope the change in version 2
is what you requested.

I took inspiration from other drivers for ST microcontroller
peripherals (e. g. drivers/iio/adc/stm32-adc-core.c,
drivers/iio/adc/stm32-adc.c) where
some resources are shared between the peripheral instances. In the
case of CAN, master (CAN1) and slave (CAN2) share the registers for
configuring the filters and the clock.
In the core module you can find the functions about the shared
resources, while the childrens implement the driver.

ok, you'll find it in V2.

SoB is not related to copyrights. Keep personal copyrights (with/next to
work ones), but SoB is coming from a person and that's only one. Choose
one "person".

In both cases you refer to the driver, but we talk here about bindings
which are rather not related. So I repeat the question - is the child
entirely separate device which can be used in other devices?
