Subject: [PATCH net] mscan: zero accidentally copied register content

Due to the 16 bit access to mscan registers there's too much data copied to
the zero initialized CAN frame when having an odd number of bytes to copy.
This patch clears the data byte read from the invalid register entry.

Hello Wolf[gang|ram],

from an error report from Andre Naujoks i tracked down the problem of
uninitialized data in (normally) initialized CAN frames to the mscan driver.

Regards,
Oliver
