Grant,

Earlier, you had asked for a more specific name for the compatible
property of the Freescale flexcan device.  I still have not gotten a
more specific answer.  Hopefully Marc can give you more details about
the flexcan implementations.

If there is no ip core version, then just stick with the
fsl,<soc>-flexcan name and drop "fsl,flexcan".  Marketing may say
flexcan is flexcan, but hardware engineers like to change things.
Trying to be too generic in compatible values will just lead to
problems in the future.

Thanks,
Robin
