My question remains "What should we be naming the device tree node in
general.  Line 5 of the fsl-flexcan.txt file specifically calls the node
"fsl,flexcan-v1.0"  In the .dts file the freescale patches introduces into
the arch/powerpc portion of the kernel, they call it that same thing.
Likewise, in the code already checked into uboot it is the same name.
Whether it is needed or not for the clock frequency, it does need to
be consistent between the .dts file and the driver for device discovery
to work.
