This patch fixes an interrupt thrash issue with c_can driver.
In c_can_isr() function interrupts are disabled and enabled only in
c_can_poll() function. c_can_isr() & c_can_poll() both read the
irqstatus flag. However, irqstatus is always read as 0 in c_can_poll()
because all C_CAN interrupts are disabled in c_can_isr(). This causes
all interrupts to be re-enabled in c_can_poll() which in turn causes
another interrupt since the event is not really handled. This keeps
happening causing a flood of interrupts.
To fix this, read the irqstatus register in isr and use the same cached
value in the poll function.

Bosch C_CAN controller is a full-CAN implementation which is compliant
to CAN protocol version 2.0 part A and B. Bosch C_CAN user manual can be
obtained from:
http://www.semiconductors.bosch.de/media/en/pdf/ipmodules_1/c_can/users_manual_c_can.pdf
This patch adds the support for this controller.
The following are the design choices made while writing the controller
driver:
1. Interface Register set IF1 has be used only in the current design.
2. Out of the 32 Message objects available, 16 are kept aside for RX
purposes and the rest for TX purposes.
3. NAPI implementation is such that both the TX and RX paths function
in polling mode.
