Hi Matthias,

Thanks. Your support has been critical in testing earlier versions of this 
driver.

The MODULE_DESCRIPTION that you have suggested also seems good.
Infact, initially we had decided to keep the same but then we came across 
further
variants of the SPEAr microcontroller in which the number of CCAN Controllers 
may
vary. For example SPEAr1310 is a CORTEX-A9 based microcontroller that also has 2
CCAN controllers.

So, we decided to make this distinction clear in the MODULE_DESCRIPTION field.

Bhupesh
