[Bhaskar] The reason why I placed the "fsl,flexcan-clock-divider" property is just because the earlier implementations
		 Of CAN also follows the same approach. Please see below the approach of mscan.
                compatible = "fsl,mpc5121-mscan";
                interrupts = <13 0x8>;
                interrupt-parent = <&ipic>;
                reg = <0x1380 0x80>;
                fsl,mscan-clock-source = "ref";
                fsl,mscan-clock-divider = <3>;
        };
	If you want we can remove the fsl,flexcan-clock-divider property. Please comment ..
