Hi! Yes, these warnings are being addressed in a patch I submitted that
is currently being reviewed.

To get this working well, I had to install a few of the patches that
Benedict Spranger submitted ([PATCH 05/16] c_can: use 32 bit access for
D_CAN) on 9/9/2013.

I have the patches on our rocketboard branch
(rocketboards.org/gitweb/?p=linux-socfpga-git;a=summary)

I planned to upstream these changes but there have been some major
changes to CAN recently that may require some refactoring.
