This pinmux is actually part of the IPs CTRL register (see CLKSRC).
Currently this is set unconditionally to peripheral clock, which is on
my device 83.3 MHz (500MHz/6). This would be a bit bigger change. Just
thinking how to implement this. Maybe we have to reference a third clock
"osc" and a device tree property fsl,can-clock-osc which one can choose
between "osc" and "per" what do you think?

Just found out when using too high bitrate (500000 vs 125000), the error
counter immediately goes up to 128 (or even beyond) and ends up in
ERROR-PASSIVE:

The FLTCONF is in Error Passive, however the stack did not received that
information. I still have the printk in the interrupt, however I did not
get an interrupt here (while I get one when it switched to
ERROR-WARNING... But it looks like the ERRINT is still pending...
