Thank you for reviewing!

Nice find. It looks like it would be pretty straightforward to add
support for those flags. As far as I can tell they map directly to
register bits.

You're absolutely right. It looks like frame->flags isn't being
initialized at all when it's a non-FD frame. I can also take care of
this. I'll wait and see how the review goes for the other patches, and I
can add another patch to fix these flag issues in the next version of
the series.

Nice! It seems like using these functions could simplify this code quite
a bit, by eliminating the need for canfd_dlc_array. I can add this as
another patch for the next version.

Thanks! I also see that Francisco reviewed a couple of the patches --
thanks Francisco! I will wait and see how review goes on the others.

For what it's worth, I was stress testing this in QEMU today and found
another issue with the FIFO read_index and store_index calculations and
the logic that wraps them around to 0. I will submit the fix for this
problem as another patch in the next version of the series (or a new
series if that's more convenient).
