The SSP is calculated as the sum of two +configurable values: the TDC Value (TDCV) and the TDC offset (TDCO). + +TDC, if supported by the device, can be configured together with CAN-FD +using the ip tool's "tdc-mode" argument as follow: + +**omitted** + When no "tdc-mode" option is provided, the kernel will automatically + decide whether TDC should be turned on, in which case it will + calculate a default TDCO and use the TDCV as measured by the + device.
