Currently the xilinx_can xcan_chip_start() function, called from
.ndo_open() and via CAN_MODE_START (bus-off restart), waits for the SR
register to show the wanted operating state, with a 1 sec timeout.
However, that register bit will only be set once the HW has observed 11
consecutive recessive bits (BusIdle) on the bus.
If the bus will not see the 11 bits (e.g. it is stuck dominant), the
function will timeout and return an error. If this was done as part of a
scheduled restart from bus-off, the interface will stay in bus-off
state forever even if the bus recovers later.
According to M_CAN and FLEXCAN documentation they also wait for 11
consecutive recessive bits, but their drivers do not seem to wait for
that.
To make the behavior consistent, modify xilinx_can to also not wait for
the synchronization to complete.
The only way for users to know for sure that the bus has been joined
successfully is to see successfully received or transmitted frames. That
does not seem optimal, but it is consistent with other drivers and we
should have a properly working restart-ms with xilinx_can.
Tested on ZynqMP with Xilinx CAN-FD 1.0.

As there were no objections and no better suggestions, I propose to
apply the patch as-is.
