My guess is that TI won't come up with a 3rd variant so we won't have to
touch the driver, but you never know for sure.

Right. For now we need 2 start/stop definations for the existing TI Socs.

but where to store the raminit start/stop bits? The driver_data currently seems to 
contain the CAN type C_CAN vs D_CAN without containing it in a platform_data structure.

Is it OK to create a new platform_data structure for CAN and put the type and raminit start/stop
bits there?
