Which interrupts does "IRQ_BEI" include? What should
CAN_CTRLMODE_BERR_REPORTING do?

Looking at:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.34/drivers/net/can/sja1000/sja1000.c#L393
it seems that BEI on the SJA just effects bit, form and stuff errors.

If I disable the corresponding interrupt in the flexcan. This is
ERR_MSK, (1 << 14 in CTRL), I don't get error warning or error passive
interrupts either. I'm not sure about the bus off interrupt.

From my point of view this is not that what CAN_CTRLMODE_BERR_REPORTING
should do, is it?
