My implementation is align to 32, but I'm trying to make a generic PCI 
wrapper (some other could be aligned to 16)

I don't understand the reason to keep these functions in 
c_can_platform.c . Two generic read/write functions could be written 
into c_can.c by using a shift value (0 if aligned to 16, 1 if aligned to 
32) as I showed in the previous mail:

Every platform having a Bosch C_CAN/D_CAN can specify its shift value (0 
or 1) and it's done.
