Subject: [ 091/135] can: mcp251x: avoid repeated frame bug

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Benoît Locher <Benoit.Locher@....com>

commit cab32f39dcc5b35db96497dc0a026b5dea76e4e7 upstream.

The MCP2515 has a silicon bug causing repeated frame transmission, see section
5 of MCP2515 Rev. B Silicon Errata Revision G (March 2007).

Basically, setting TXBnCTRL.TXREQ in either SPI mode (00 or 11) will eventually
cause the bug. The workaround proposed by Microchip is to use mode 00 and send
a RTS command on the SPI bus to initiate the transmission.
