OK, just to be sure. Does the "canconfig canX state" from the
Pengutronix canutils list the state correctly for any device?
I just tried here and it works fine.

Nice! A patch should be submitted as *inline* mail to the linux-can
*and* netdev mailing list with a proper subject, patch description and
signed-off-by line. The subject line should be something like:

"[PATCH net-next] can: plx_pci: add support for IXXAT PCI cards"

It's best to use git to create and send the patch but for simple patches
it doesn't really matter.

Wolfgang.
