From: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5440428b3da65408dba0241985acb7a05258b85e ] The dev->can.state is set to CAN_STATE_ERROR_ACTIVE, after the device has been started. On busy networks the CAN controller might receive CAN frame between and go into an error state before the dev->can.state is assigned. Assign dev->can.state before starting the controller to close the race window.
