Officially the TX-timeout has been removed as the controller just sends out
the CAN frames, when it comes back to life ...

The question is, if the controller gets into the BUS_OFF state and if the
restart-ms option (see ip tool) would help here.

FYI:
A CAN chip that sits alone on a proper bus, trying to transmit a frame,
will never go into BUS_OFF. It can only go in BUS_OFF when a bad network
is encountered, i.e. the chip does not see it's TX activity on its RX.

I think this scenario (chip alone, going in BUS_OFF) is no different
than regular BUS_OFF, and should be treated likewise.
