The FlexCAN driver (which is used in the IMX8 AFAIK) had a remarkable 
number of changes last year:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/drivers/net/can/flexcan.c

So I would definitely suggest an update.
I added Marc to this thread as he was very active on the FlexCAN 
improvements.

Best,
Oliver
