I've commented the relevant parts of your patch. Although more
background information can be found in the c_can patches.

Let's assume you have put 3 CAN frames into the TX-queue and we're into
tx-complete interrupt for the first frame and the other 2 are still not
completed.

This means the while() loop is not terminated by (priv->tx_head -
priv->tx_tail > 0), as it can loop 3 times.

What happens is:

- priv->write_reg(priv, XCAN_ICR_OFFSET, XCAN_IXR_TXOK_MASK);
- if (!(isr & XCAN_IXR_TXOK_MASK)) -> no break
- can_get_echo_skb()
- ...
- isr = priv->read_reg(priv, XCAN_ISR_OFFSET);
- loop ->
- priv->write_reg(priv, XCAN_ICR_OFFSET, XCAN_IXR_TXOK_MASK);
- if (!(isr & XCAN_IXR_TXOK_MASK)) -> break

So you have 2x write_reg(priv, XCAN_ICR_OFFSET, XCAN_IXR_TXOK_MASK), but
only a single TX completed CAN frame.

In an ideal world the data sheet of the IP will have a unique name for
its clock inputs, regardless the version of the IP core and the design
(processor, softcore, etc...) it is integrated into.

The first clock is named "can_clk", so we only need a single name for
the second clock. Any opinions from the devicetree people?
