can: Fix SJA1000 command register writes on SMP systems
The SJA1000 command register is concurrently written in the rx-path to free the receive buffer _and_ in the tx-path to start the transmission. The SJA1000 data sheet, 6.4.4 COMMAND REGISTER (CMR) states: "Between two commands at least one internal clock cycle is needed in order to proceed. The internal clock is half of the external oscillator frequency." On SMP systems the current implementation leads to a write stall in the tx-path, which can be solved by adding some general locking and some time to settle the write_reg() operation for the command register. Thanks to Klaus Hitschler for the original fix and detailed problem description. This patch applies on net-2.6 and (with some offsets) on net-next-2.6 .
