[PATCH v2 18/18] can: m_can: Implement transmit submission coalescing

[Markus Schneider-Pargmann]

m_can supports submitting mulitple transmits with one register write.
This is an interesting option to reduce the number of SPI transfers for
peripheral chips.

The m_can_tx_op is extended with a bool that signals if it is the last
transmission and the submit should be executed immediately.

The worker then writes the skb to the FIFO and submits it only if the
submit bool is set. If it isn't set, the worker will write the next skb
which is waiting in the workqueue to the FIFO, etc.

Notes:
    Notes:
    - I ran into lost messages in the receive FIFO when using this
      implementation. I guess this only shows up with my test setup in
      loopback mode and maybe not enough CPU power.
    - I put this behind the tx-frames ethtool coalescing option as we do
      wait before submitting packages but it is something different than the
      tx-frames-irq option. I am not sure if this is the correct option,
      please let me know.
