Yes, I know. Unfortunately, we did realize rather late the the PCH
controller is a C_CAN clone and the OKI/Intel ppls did not tell us
either. Therefore I asked Bhupesh to provide a SJA1000-a-like interface
for the C_CAN, which would allow us to provide an alternative PCI driver
"pch_pci.c" for the PCH. If that driver works well on the PCH hardware
as well, we should merge the best of both, if necessary, and then
finally remove the pch_can driver. Would that be a reasonable proposal.

Wolfgang.
