     98=== Newport CAN Kernel drivers
     99The Newport product family uses the [http://dev.gateworks.com/datasheets/MCP25625.pdf MCP25625] CAN over SPI device. This is both a CAN controller as well as a CAN transceiver. Because this operates over the SPI bus, the '''spi-cavium''' and '''spi-cavium-thunderx''' kernel drivers are required as well as the '''mcp251x''' driver. Because the Thunderx SPI controller only supports half-duplex transactions patches are needed to the mcp251x driver which Gateworks has in its [https://github.com/Gateworks/linux-newport linux-newport] kernel repository:
