This support was missing in the driver, added in V4 patch.

HI-3110 has only 1 bus error interrupt. There is no dedicated state
change interrupts like other controllers.

So here is my plan:
- Have the bus error interrupt always enabled
- If berr-reporting off, then have the isr checks/reports state changes
- if berr-reporting on, then have the isr checks/reports bus errors
and state changes (Does it make sense packing the error message, if
the ISR finds both bus and state changes?)

Apologize, just realized In the above case some error packets were
lost, because I forgot to set the CPU frequency to max. Will resend
the log.

The HI-3110 controller decrements the error counter by 1 for every message sent.
The error count increments by 8 when there is an error.

This was a bug introduced when adding berr-reporting, have fixed in v4 patch.

ADM3054 transceiver is used with HI-3111. I connected the
HI-3111/ADM3054 board to kvaser leaf and ran "cangen -i can0" and
"candump -e any,0:0,#FFFFFFF" on the board. Removed the cable and
shorted the CAN_H/L pins coming out of ADM3054. I will try your
suggestion of using a different bit-rate on the Kvaser leaf instead.

I appreciate your continued feedback, it has helped significantly
improve the error handling of the driver. Looking back I should have
based it on sja1000 or flexcan driver.

Thanks,
Akshay
