What do you think about the following method?
config XENO_DRIVERS_CAN_SJA1000_BUS_ERR_LIMIT
depends on XENO_DRIVERS_CAN_SJA1000
int "Maximum number of successive bus errors"
range 0 255
default 20
help
CAN bus errors are very useful for analyzing electrical problems
but they can come at a very high rate resulting in interrupt
flooding with bad impact on system performance and real-time
behavior. This option, if greater than 0, will limit the amount
of successive bus error interrupts. If the limit is reached, an
error message with "can_id = CAN_ERR_BUSERR_FLOOD" is sent. The
bus error counter gets reset on restart of the device and on any
successful message transmission or reception. Be aware that bus
error interrupts are only enabled if at least one socket is
listening on bus errors.
I think it should make Sebastian and Jan happy, at least ;-).
