With all other you mean the linux-2.6-denx tree!? These seem to be some
reminders of the old Socket-CAN support merged into that tree (master

you should use the mainline kernel.

DENX tries to push patches upstream as fast as possible and new projects
are usually based on the mainline kernel tree.
