can: add new CAN FD bittiming parameters: Transmitter Delay Compensation (TDC)

At high bit rates, the propagation delay from the TX pin to the RX pin
of the transceiver causes measurement errors: the sample point on the
RX pin might occur on the previous bit.

This issue is addressed in ISO 11898-1 section 11.3.3 "Transmitter
delay compensation" (TDC).

This patch adds two new structures: can_tdc and can_tdc_const in order
to implement this TDC.

The structures are then added to can_priv.

A controller supports TDC if an only if can_priv::tdc_const is not
NULL.

TDC is active if and only if:
  - fd flag is on
  - can_priv::tdc.tdco is not zero.
It is the driver responsibility to check those two conditions are met.

No new controller modes are introduced (i.e. no CAN_CTRL_MODE_TDC) in
order not to be redundant with above logic.

The names of the parameters are chosen to match existing CAN
controllers specification. References:

+ * At high bit rates, the propagation delay from the TX pin to the RX
+ * pin of the transceiver causes measurement errors: the sample point
+ * on the RX pin might occur on the previous bit.
+ *
+ * To solve this issue, ISO 11898-1 introduces in section 11.3.3
+ * "Transmitter delay compensation" a SSP (Secondary Sample Point)
+ * equal to the distance, in time quanta, from the start of the bit
+ * time on the TX pin to the actual measurement on the RX pin.
+ *
+ * This structure contains the parameters to calculate that SSP.
+ *
+ * @tdcv: Transmitter Delay Compensation Value. Distance, in time
+ *     quanta, from when the bit is sent on the TX pin to when it is
+ *     received on the RX pin of the transmitter. Possible options:
+ *
+ *       O: automatic mode. The controller dynamically measure @tdcv
+ *       for each transmitted CAN FD frame.
+ *
+ *       Other values: manual mode. Use the fixed provided value.
+ *
+ * @tdco: Transmitter Delay Compensation Offset. Offset value, in time
+ *     quanta, defining the distance between the start of the bit
+ *     reception on the RX pin of the transceiver and the SSP
+ *     position such as SSP = @tdcv + @tdco.
+ *
+ *     If @tdco is zero, then TDC is disabled and both @tdcv and
+ *     @tdcf should be ignored.
+ *
+ * @tdcf: Transmitter Delay Compensation Filter window. Defines the
+ *     minimum value for the SSP position in time quanta. If SSP is
+ *     less than @tdcf, then no delay compensations occur and the
+ *     normal sampling point is used instead. The feature is enabled
+ *     if and only if @tdcv is set to zero (automatic mode) and @tdcf
+ *     is configured to a value greater than @tdco.
