```text
The previous patch fixes a TEF vs. TX race condition, by first updating the TEF
tail pointer in hardware, and then updating the driver internal pointer.

The same pattern exists in the RX-path, too. This should be no problem, as the
driver accesses the RX-FIFO from the interrupt handler only, thus the access is
properly serialized. Fix the order here, too, so that the TEF- and RX-path look
similar.

Fixes: 1f652bb6bae7 ("can: mcp25xxfd: rx-path: reduce number of SPI core requests to set UINC bit")
