OK, but...

... I doubt that it's updated automatically. At least I understand
chapter "13.4.2.2 CAN Status Register (CANSTAT)" and "Table 507. Last
Error Code (LEC) Details of Operation" differently. Please *check* the
real behavior by adding debugging code.

To inteprete the error messages, please have a look to
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux/include/linux/can/error.h

The id is "CAN_EFF_FLAG | CAN_ERR_ACK | CAN_ERR_CRTL" and data[1] is
"CAN_ERR_CRTL_TX_PASSIVE | CAN_ERR_CRTL_TX_WARNING".

Which is *not* 100% OK.

> ......It seems the same line continues forever.

Yes, it will continue until you connect the cable, that's normal
behavior. But that's not the full sequence. Could you please repeat the
test as shown below:

  First start the following command in a *separate* session.
  # candump any,0:0,#FFFFFFFF"

  Then setup and start the CAN controller:
  # ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 125000
  # cansend can0 123#deadbeef
