I have little hope! Some revision of the flexcan controller have the 
same problem

Error state change messages should always be there. These are the 
important one.

If berr-reporting is off, simply do not create an error message for bus 
errors, and only if the state changed. If it's "on" create an additional 
bus error message.

Seems OK according to:

Well, the SJA1000 is the reference concerning error reporting. It's very 
detailed. Most of the error cases from

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/uapi/linux/can/error.h

are SJA1000 related. Most other CAN controllers report much less. And 
the Flexcan driver handles a lot of different chip revisions and uses 
mail boxes. It's not a good base for the Hi-311x.
