[PATCH v2 2/3] can: mcp251xfd: add support for XSTBYEN transceiver standby control

From: Viken Dadhaniya

Date: Mon Mar 16 2026 - 09:22:24 EST


The MCP251xFD has a dedicated transceiver standby control function on
the INT0/GPIO0/XSTBY pin, controlled by the XSTBYEN bit in IOCON.
When enabled, the hardware automatically manages the transceiver
standby state: the pin is driven low when the controller is active
and high when it enters Sleep mode.

Enable this feature when the 'microchip,xstbyen' device tree property
is present.
