http://www.datasheet.in/download.php?id=39415

Page 383 and 384 say that bit 5 (CRC) is zero if the rx frame contained
errors.


So we need

	else if (!(skb->data[pkt_len] & FrameCrc))

vfr is "valid frame".  0 is invalid.

rab is "receive message aborted".  The data sheet doesn't actually say
if the bit is active-high or active-low (grr).
