Commit b8e0ddd36ce9 ("can: mcp251xfd: tef: prepare to workaround broken TEF FIFO tail index erratum") introduced mcp251xfd_get_tef_len() to get the number of unhandled transmit events from the Transmit Event FIFO (TEF).
As the TEF has no head index, the driver uses the TX-FIFO's tail index instead, assuming that send frames are completed.
When calculating the number of unhandled TEF events, that commit didn't take mcp2518fd erratum DS80000789E 6. into account. According to that erratum, the FIFOCI bits of a FIFOSTA register, here the TX-FIFO tail index might be corrupted.
However here it seems the bit indicating that the TX-FIFO is empty (MCP251XFD_REG_FIFOSTA_TFERFFIF) is not correct while the TX-FIFO tail index is.
Assume that the TX-FIFO is indeed empty if: - Chip's head and tail index are equal (len == 0). - The TX-FIFO is less than half full. (The TX-FIFO empty case has already been checked at the beginning of this function.) - No free buffers in the TX ring.
If the TX-FIFO is assumed to be empty, assume that the TEF is full and return the number of elements in the TX-FIFO (which equals the number of TEF elements).
If these assumptions are false, the driver might read to many objects from the TEF. mcp251xfd_handle_tefif_one() checks the sequence numbers and will refuse to process old events.
