Ah, i did not get this from your code example

	if (can_dlc & 1)
		*payload = in_be16() & mask;


which probably does the same as Wolfgangs more obvious suggestion

	if (frame->can_dlc & 1)
		frame->data[frame->can_dlc - 1] = in_8(data);


:-)

As my patch could be done without real testing, as i did not change the
register access and only fixed the result ...

	if (frame->can_dlc & 1)
		frame->data[frame->can_dlc] = 0;


... it would be nice if e.g. Wolfgang could send his patch after some testing,
as i currently don't have access to my MPC5200 hardware here.

Tnx & best regards,
Oliver
