If you have contact to the hardware designer please blame him for
   Unfortunately, we don't.

placing the data register unaligned into the register space. :)
   It's not even the only one or worst example of questionable register
design in this module IMO.

This looks broken. What happens if you send 2 CAN frames in a row, the
first one is send, a TX complete interrupt is issued and you handle it
here? You assume, that all CAN frames have been sent.
   TX interrupt will be issued only when TX FIFO gets empty (all 2 frames
have been transmitted in this case). Please see the comment to the
RCAR_CAN_MIER1_TXFIT bit.
Does the hardware have a TX complete interrupt? If you only have TX FIFO
empty, you have to limit the FIFO depth to 1.

Can you explain the register layout here? Why do you access BCR with 32
bits when the register is defined as 3x8 bit? Can't you make it a
standard 32 bit register?
1. According to documentation BCR is the 24-bit register.
Actually we can consider some 32-bit register that combines BCR and
CLKR but according to documentation there are two separate registers.
2. BCR has 8- ,16-, and 32-bit access (according to documentation).
3. This is the algorithm that the documentation suggests.
4. We had a driver version with byte access but 32-bit access seems
shorter.
Please use a normal read-modify-write 32 bit access.
