For MSCAN on the MPC5200 we currently have:

		mscan@900 {
			device_type = "mscan";
			compatible = "mpc5200b-mscan","mpc5200-mscan";
			cell-index = <0>;
			interrupts = <2 11 0>;
			interrupt-parent = <&mpc5200_pic>;
			reg = <900 80>;
		};

		mscan@980 {
			device_type = "mscan";
			compatible = "mpc5200b-mscan","mpc5200-mscan";
			cell-index = <1>;
			interrupts = <2 12 0>;
			interrupt-parent = <&mpc5200_pic>;
			reg = <980 80>;
		};

The only thing missing is a property defining the routing of the CAN
signals, CAN 1 on I2C1 pins or CAN 2 on TMR01 pins. I think it does not
make sense to describe CAN devices on the CAN bus like for I2C.
