Freescale decided not to mainline their flexcan changes, moreover they
introduces some bugs into the driver. I send some bugfixes but they
didn't react.

I started hacking a bit on the driver, but as I don't have any hardware,
not clients willing to sponsor (hint, hint!) the work, it's not
bit-rotting in my git. Maybe it helps you (thee uppermost patches):
