This adds a driver for FlexCAN based CAN controllers,
e.g. found in Freescale i.MX35 SoCs.

The original version of this driver was posted by Sascha Hauer in July 2009:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2009/7/29/6251621

I took this version, added NAPI support, and fixed some problems found
during testing. Well, here is the result. Please review.

I briefly browsed the patch and various bits and pieces are missing or
not correctly implemented. Marc already pointed out a few of them:

- I do not find can_put/get_echo_skb functions in the code. How is
  IFF_ECHO supposed to work?

the driver uses hardware loopback

- Support for CAN_CTRLMODE_BERR_REPORTING and do_get_berr_counter()
  seems to be missing.

- Make use of alloc_can_skb() and alloc_can_err_skb().

the last two points are already addressed in my version of the driver.

Marc
