Moin,

the at91_can core has the following problem:
"50.3.5.3 CAN: Contents of Mailbox 0 can be sent Even if Mailbox is
Disabled"

This means under high bus load it can happen that the mailbox 0 is send
to the bus. And it does happen, even with the mainline driver where
Mailbox 0 is a receive mailbox. The errata proposes not to use mailbox 0
and load it with a unused can_id that will not disturb the bus.

I'm going to implement the workaround. As the unused identifier is
probably application specific my question is: What's the best way to
configure this identifier?

- sysfs
- netlink
- ioctl
- ethtool
- peek/poke :P

What will be a good default can_id?

regards, Marc
