This TWRNINT means that the Tx error counter has transitioned from < 96
to >= 96 (analog the RWRNINT for the Rx error counter). Unfortunately
the state bits handled below do not reflect this error warning state.

So this interrupt signals us that we have been in error warning state
once but we have no possibility to detect if we are still in error
warning state. I don't know how to handle this correctly. I could
disable this interrupt and ignore it completely.

Sorry, I missed that from your previous mail. As we can't properly
detect ERROR_WARNING state this would reduce to:

	if (state != priv->can.state && state == CAN_STATE_ERROR_WARNING) {
		cf->data[1] |= CAN_ERR_CRTL_RX_WARNING;
		priv->can.can_stats.error_warning++;
	}
