The CAN-FD section of can.rst still states that there is a 1:1 mapping between the Classical CAN DLC and its length. This is only true for the DLC values up to 8. Beyond that point, the length remains at 8. For reference, the mapping between the CAN DLC and the length is given in below table [1]: DLC value CBFF and CEFF FBFF and FEFF [decimal] [byte] [byte] ---------------------------------------------- 0 0 0 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 5 6 6 6 7 7 7 8 8 8 9 8 12 10 8 16 11 8 20 12 8 24 13 8 32 14 8 48 15 8 64 Remove the erroneous statement. Instead just state that the length of a Classical CAN frame ranges from 0 to 8.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
