BERR_REPORTING != bus error counter

The equivalent to the following SJA1000 code is missing:

           /* enable interrupts */
           if (priv->can.ctrlmode & CAN_CTRLMODE_BERR_REPORTING)
                   priv->write_reg(priv, REG_IER, IRQ_ALL);
           else
                   priv->write_reg(priv, REG_IER, IRQ_ALL & ~IRQ_BEI);

The user must now explicitly enable bus error reporting with
"ip ... type can berr_reporting on ....
