Please add a sentence why you introduce polling mode, i.e. there are
SoCs where the M_CAN interrupt is not available on the CPUs (which are
running Linux).

Unrelated change. I've send a separate patch to fix the problem.

This might be a racy. Please move the disabling of the hrtimer before
disabling all interrupts. This makes it also symmetric with respect to
m_can_start().

I think you can move this assignment to m_can_class_register(). We only
need to set the function once.

I think irq will be uninitialized after this change. Although the
compiler doesn't complain :(

BTW: I think we don't need the "polling" variable in the priv. We can
make use of "irq". "irq" being 0 means use polling.

Please return the original error code.
