Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Potential CAN controller freeze due to edge-triggered interrupt configuration for active-low level-sensitive INT pin.
- [Low] Devicetree schema violation with non-standard node names for clock and SPI nodes.

arm64: dts: renesas: sparrow-hawk: Add overlay for WaveShare 2CH CANFD HAT

Add a DT overlay to bind the WaveShare 2-Channel Isolated CAN FD Expansion
HAT on the Retronix R-Car V4H Sparrow Hawk board.

[Severity: Low]
Does this node name violate the fixed-clock devicetree bindings schema?
The schema typically mandates node names matching the pattern clock-* to pass
dtbs_check validation.

[Severity: Low]
Is this non-generic node name likely to trigger devicetree validation
warnings? Standard devicetree practices recommend using the generic spi node
name rather than spi-ws-2ch-canfd.

[Severity: High]
Can configuring this interrupt as IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING cause the CAN
controller to freeze?

The MCP2518FD INT pin is active-low and level-sensitive. If a new interrupt
condition occurs while the INT pin is already asserted low, a new falling
edge might not be generated, causing the new interrupt to be permanently
missed. Should this use IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW instead?

[Severity: High]
Similarly, can this edge-triggered configuration for the native MSIOF CAN
controller lead to missed interrupts if the active-low level-sensitive INT
pin is already asserted when a new interrupt arrives?
