Subject: [PATCH v3 3/7] can: dev: add a helper function to get the correct length of Classical frames
Date:   Sat,  3 Oct 2020 00:41:47 +0900

In classical CAN, the length of the data (i.e. CAN payload) is not
always equal to the DLC! If the frame is a Remote Transmission Request
(RTR), data length is always zero regardless of DLC value and else, if
the DLC is greater than 8, the length is 8. Contrary to common belief,
ISO 11898-1 Chapter 8.4.2.3 (DLC field) do allow DLCs greater than 8
for Classical Frames and specifies that those DLCs shall indicate that
the data field is 8 bytes long.

Above facts are widely unknown and so many developpers uses the "len"
field of "struct canfd_frame" to get the length of classical CAN
frames: this is incorrect!

This patch introduces function get_can_len() which can be used in
remediation. The function takes the SKB as an input in order to be
able to determine if the frame is classical or FD.

Changes in v3:
  - Make get_can_len() return u8.
  - Make the skb const.

Changes in v2: None
