The behavior is consistent across platforms, but I do not have details on
how other platforms were tested.

On the RB3Gen2 board, communication with the PCAN interface requires the
CAN transceiver to be in normal mode. Since the GPIO-controller support
was recently integrated into the driver, I configured the transceiver using a
GPIO hog property. Without this configuration, the transceiver is not set
to normal mode, and CAN communication does not work.
