Sounds fine. In order not to change Joakim's commit log too much, how
about adding something like (with your initials, since you're next in
the sign-off chain)

[mkl: Meanwhile, Rasmus Villemoes reported that even with a timeout of
100, flexcan_probe() fails on the MPC8309, which requires a value of at
least 140 to work reliably. 250 works for everyone.]
