I agree.  I think I will have that implemented shortly after I get to the
office (about an hour for drive, etc).  I think I am going to implement
a simple match on the dev_id of flexcan.0 or flexcan.1 and otherwise
return failure.

I also looked at implementing the CLOCKDEV_LOOKUP but think that is
going to drive me to drink.

Thanks,
