Well, only prop_seg+phase_seg=tseg1 is relevant and the pch_can driver
sets the allowed minimum "tseg1_min1" currently to 1:

static struct can_bittiming_const pch_can_bittiming_const = {
        .name = KBUILD_MODNAME,
        .tseg1_min = 1,
        .tseg1_max = 16,
        .tseg2_min = 1,
        .tseg2_max = 8,
        .sjw_max = 4,
        .brp_min = 1,
        .brp_max = 1024, /* 6bit + extended 4bit */
        .brp_inc = 1,
};

Then "tseg1_min" should be set to *2*.

A clock frequency of 50 MHz is sub-optimal for CAN and some
bit-rates cannot be reproduced properly. Here is the output of
the can-utils program "can-calc-bit-timing" (with an entry for
the pch-can added):

$ ./can-calc-bit-timing pch-can

As you can see, especially 800000 gives rather bad results.
