I already reviewed this driver on the Socketcan-core ML and it's almost
OK from the Socket-CAN point of view. Just one issue...

That's not correct from my point of view. The warning message should
only be printed when the user tries to set triple sampling. I think it
should be similar to:

	if (priv->can.ctrlmode & CAN_CTRLMODE_3_SAMPLES) {
		if (bit_timing->brp > 4)
			can_btc |= HECC_CANBTC_SAM;
		else
			dev_warn(priv->ndev->dev.parent,
			"Triple sampling not set due to h/w "
			limitations");
	}

Apart from that, the patch looks OK.

Wolfgang.
