This patch tries to works around erratum DS80000789E 6 of the mcp2518fd, the other variants of the chip family (mcp2517fd and mcp251863) are probably also affected. In the bad case, the driver reads a too large head index. In the original code, the driver always trusted the read value, which caused old, already processed CAN frames or new, incompletely written CAN frames to be (re-)processed. To work around this issue, keep a per FIFO timestamp [1] of the last valid received CAN frame and compare against the timestamp of every received CAN frame. If an old CAN frame is detected, abort the iteration and mark the number of valid CAN frames as processed in the chip by incrementing the FIFO's tail index. Further tests showed that this workaround can recognize old CAN frames, but a small time window remains in which partially written CAN frames [2] are not recognized but then processed. These CAN frames have the correct data and time stamps, but the DLC has not yet been updated. [1] As the raw timestamp overflows every 107 seconds (at the usual clock rate of 40 MHz) convert it to nanoseconds with the timecounter framework and use this to detect stale CAN frames.
