fail in compiling

[mikealanni]

Hi,
I have kernel 4.9.232, I have tried to build elmcan but I have got the error below, is that because my kernet is not 4.11?

khadas@Khadas:~/elmcan/module$ make

That is correct. As hinted at in the README (I guess I could expand on that?), the code needs Linux commit 431af779256c to be able to set the bitrate without calculating it from other timing parameters.

You can try reverting the changes I made starting with a44b237 but the code before that was a reeeeally ugly hack ;)
If you get that to work, the rest should be fine IIRC.
