Linus' tree has been fixed by removing the tasklet implementation and 
replacing it with a HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT approach here:

commit bf74aa86e111a ("can: bcm: switch timer to HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT and 
remove hrtimer_tasklet")

This patch from Ziyang Xuan fixes the 'old' tasklet implementation for 
'old' stable kernels that lack the HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT infrastructure.
