Hi Stefan.

Regarding your CYGNUM_HAL_DEV_LIST... code, I haven't tried it but it looks
correct to me...
But, it's not just the naming. CYGINT_DEVS_CAN_FREESCALE_FLEXCAN[set
::canletter] introduces [CAN] cyg_interface(s) that platforms [can] implement.
Generally, renaming of objects was a major part of my job during the conversion
of the driver into generic, but in this case I took more liberty. I apologize
if I have been too intrusive, but I think that interfaces are more intuitive.
The usage is straightforward: Platforms implement certain device interface(s).
Interfaces are widely used for implementing device instances through eCos code
and I would recommend them also for other devices: serial channels, etc.
Btw, In newer Freescale documents the enumeration is numeric rather than
alphabetic. My experience is with Kinetis, but I think it is also applied to
MPC/Qorivva. I don't insist but would ask you to consider, as it will simplify
CDL code.
