I don't have any crumbs to go with here.  There is nothing in the
documentation I have found to indicate what this is or should be.
I looked at the documentation for the P1010 processor and there is nothing
in there which I noticed that indicates what I could possibly use other
than flexcan.  They don't even indicate the registers are equivalent or
identical to their i.MX implementations for i.MX25 and i.MX35.  The only
thing they call it is flexcan.  I have asked our local freescale rep and
he said "There is no 'chip', it is just flexcan.  flexcan is flexcan."
His tone was such that I got the feeling he thought the question was
crazy as flexcan is flexcan.

Reworked the best I can.  That reduced the diffstat by 3 lines.
