[patch V2 21/21] can: c_can: Speed up tx buffer invalidation

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: can-c_can-speed-up-tx-inval.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4466 bytes --]

It's suffcient to kill the TXIE bit in the message control register
even if the documentation of C and D CAN says that it's not allowed to
do that while MSGVAL is set. Reality tells a different story and this
change gives us another 2% of CPU back for not waiting on I/O.
