What is the meaning of this error warning interrupt? It does *not*
change the state.

I'm still not happy with the error message generation. If a state change
to error passive happens, it should be signaled to the user. Here my ideas:

	if (state != priv->can.state) {
		if (state == CAN_STATE_ERROR_WARNING) {
			cf->data[1] |= CAN_ERR_CRTL_RX_WARNING;
			priv->can.can_stats.error_warning++;
		} else if (state == CAN_STATE_ERROR_PASSIVE) {
			cf->data[1] |= CAN_ERR_CRTL_RX_PASSIVE;
			priv->can.can_stats.error_passive++;
		}

It might have missed something, though.
