As m_can_start() is called from resume, remove the direct call to
m_can_init_ram() from m_can_class_resume().

See above.

mainline implementation:

m_can_class_resume()
        -> m_can_init_ram()

m_can_open()
        -> m_can_start()
        -> m_can_chip_config()
        -> ops->init
                m_can_init_ram() (for tcan only)


proposed:

m_can_class_resume()
        -> m_can_start()
        -> m_can_chip_config()
        -> m_can_init_ram()

m_can_open()
        -> m_can_start()
        -> m_can_chip_config()
        -> m_can_init_ram()

In mainline m_can_init_ram() is called for the tcan during open(). So if
you call m_can_init_ram() from m_can_chip_config(), remove it from the
tcan's tcan4x5x_init() functions, and from m_can_class_resume() it
should only be called once for open and once for resume.

regards,
Marc
