This is expected.

            ^^^^^^^^

BTW: the can core has a really weird clock rate, have a look at the
datasheet if you manage to route a 24 MHz clock (or another multiple of
8MHz) to the flexcan core. I had a quick glance at the datasheet, if I
understand it correctly the Fast OSC clock runs with 24 MHz.

This is correct

The contents of the esr reg would be interesting, especially the
FLT_CONF part.

No, it should go into error passive if one of the error counters have >
127. Maybe this is an error onthe vf610, maybe it's a general flexcan
problem.
