When the interface goes down, the CPK should no longer take an active part in the CAN-bus communication, like sending acks and error frames. So enable configuration mode in ti_hecc_stop, so the CPK is no longer active. When a transceiver switch is present the acks and errors don't make it to the bus, but disabling the CPK then does prevent oddities, like ti_hecc_reset failing, since the CPK can become bus-off and starts counting the 11 bit recessive bits, which seems to block the reset. It can also cause invalid interrupts and disrupt the CAN-bus, since transmission can be stopped in the middle of a message, by disabling the tranceiver while the CPK is sending. Since the CPK is disabled after normal power on, it is typically only seen when the interface is restarted.
