The TCAN4550 has interrupts that cannot be disabled or masked, including
those for faults involving SPI, power, and transceiver issues (e.g. CAN
stuck dominant).

Fair enough, and it makes sense to always clear the device-specific
interrupts when handling them anyway.

tcan4x5x needs some cleanup re interrupt init/handling/clearing anyway,
so I'll incorporate that next time!
