Do you have the wake-gpio in your DT? This one works for me:

|                 reg = <1>;
|                 compatible = "ti,tcan4x5x";

|                 pinctrl-names = "default";
|                 pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_tcan4x5x>;
|                 spi-max-frequency = <10000000>;
|                 bosch,mram-cfg = <0x0 0 0 16 0 0 1 1>;

|                 clock-names = "cclk";
|                 clocks = <&tcan4x5x_osc>;
|                 device-wake-gpios = <&gpio5 5 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
|         };

You mean something like these...

| [  543.116807] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x108/0x174
| [  543.116820] refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

with can_put_echo_skb() in the call stack?

| [  543.117745] [<bf186edc>] (can_put_echo_skb [can_dev]) from [<bf1d67ec>] (mcp251xfd_start_xmit+0x2b0/0x3bc [mcp251xfd])

We tried to fix the problem, but the patch made the problem more
visible. Working on this.

Is that a custom tcan pi hat, or is it officially sold somewhere?

First thing I'd do is to rewrite the RX function and IRQ handler for the
"peripheral", that's the code path used for the SPI attached m-can
core. TX doesn't look efficient, but it should work at least.
