I would suggest to upstream this change without bringing it to older 
(stable) trees.

It doesn't fix any substantial flaw which needs to be backported IMHO.

Btw. can you please change 'error frames' to 'error message frames'?

We had a discussion some years ago that the 'error frames' are used as 
term inside the CAN protocol.

Thanks,
