Here it is. Wolfgang wrote the can-calc-bit-timing tool, which he used to generate
the table in the other mail. It's part of can-utils. I've pushed my improvement
to my repo (better-bitrate-calculation branch):

https://gitorious.org/~bet-frogger/linux-can/mkl-can-utils

Here's the patch:

Subject: [PATCH] can-calc-bit-timing: better sample point calculation

This patch tries to optimize the calculation of the sample point. To
understand what it does have a look at the original implementation.

If there is a combination of timing parameters where both the bitrate
and sample point error are 0 the current implementation has a pretty
good change of finding it (maybe it will always do, but I'm to lazy
to proof this).

However if the reference clock doesn't allow an optimal bitrate (this
means  the bitrate error is always != 0) there might be several timing
parameter combinations having the same bitrate error. The original
implementation will allways choose the one with the highest brp. The
actual sample point error isn't taken into account.

This patch changes the algorithm to minimize the sample point error,
too. Now a brp/tseg combination is accepted as better if one of these
condition are fulfilled:
1) the bit rate error must be smaller, or
2) the bit rate error must be equal and
   the sample point error must be equal or smaller

If a smaller bit rate error is found the sample point error is reset.
This ensures that we first optimize for small bit rate error and then
for small sample point errors.

The following diff shows the sample point error improvements.
