In the "net-next-2.6" tree there is also:

 $ grep flexcan arch/powerpc/boots/dts/*.dts
  p1010rdb.dts:                 fsl,flexcan-clock-source = "platform";
  p1010rdb.dts:                 fsl,flexcan-clock-source = "platform";
  p1010si.dtsi:                 compatible = "fsl,flexcan-v1.0";
  p1010si.dtsi:                 fsl,flexcan-clock-divider = <2>;
  p1010si.dtsi:                 compatible = "fsl,flexcan-v1.0";
  p1010si.dtsi:                 fsl,flexcan-clock-divider = <2>;

Especially the fsl,flexcan-clock-divider = <2>; might make people think,
that they could set something else.
