From df6ad5dd838e0fa543ca28ca6154901fa65a9443 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Mailhol Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2022 23:30:03 +0900 Subject: can: Kconfig: rename config symbol CAN_DEV into CAN_NETLINK In the next patches, the scope of the can-dev module will grow to engloble the software/virtual drivers (slcan, v(x)can). To this extent, release CAN_DEV by renaming it into CAN_NETLINK. The config symbol CAN_DEV will be reused to cover this extended scope. The rationale for the name CAN_NETLINK is that netlink is the predominant feature added here. The current description only mentions platform drivers despite the fact that this symbol is also required by "normal" devices (e.g. USB or PCI) which do not fall under the platform devices category. The description is updated accordingly to fix this gap.
