Subject: [PATCH 3.2 064/102] can: flexcan: put TX mailbox into TX_INACTIVE
 mode after tx-complete

3.2.64-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@...gutronix.de>

commit de5944883ebbedbf5adc8497659772f5da7b7d72 upstream.

After sending a RTR frame the TX mailbox becomes a RX_EMPTY mailbox. To avoid
side effects when the RX-FIFO is full, this patch puts the TX mailbox into
TX_INACTIVE mode in the transmission complete interrupt handler. This, of
course, leaves a race window between the actual completion of the transmission
and the handling of tx-complete interrupt. However this is the best we can do
without busy polling the tx complete interrupt.
