Hi Marc,

I realise now I confused mcp251xfd_timestamp_init with
mcp251xfd_chip_timestamp_init.

The only call chip mcp251xfd_chip_stop without call to
mcp251xfd_timestamp_stop is from mcp251xfd_handle_cerrif.

So it should be sufficient to stop the worker there and the check for
"work->func" can be also omitted.

Best regards,
Gregor
