The intention of this series is to kick off a discussion about how to
support LIN (ISO 17987) [0] in Linux.

This series consist of two patches which are two individual proposals
for adding LIN abstraction into the kernel.

One approach is to add LIN ontop of CANFD:
  [RFC] can: introduce LIN abstraction

The other approach is adding a new type of CAN-socket:
  [RFC] can: Add LIN proto skeleton

These patches are abstracting LIN so that actual device drivers can
make use of it.

For reference, the LIN-ontop-of-CANFD variant already has a device
driver using it (not part of this series). It is a specially built USB
LIN-BUS adapter hardware called hexLIN [1].  Its purpose is mainly to
test, adapt and discuss different LIN APIs for mainline Linux kernel.
But it can already be used productively as a Linux LIN node in
controller (master) and responder (slave) mode. By sysfs, hexLIN
supports different checksum calculations and setting up a
responder-table.

For more info about hexLIN, see link below [1].

We are looking for partners with Linux based LIN projects for funding.
