[RFC] Fix D_CAN corrupted bytes by using 32 bit register r/w

[tthayer at opensource.altera.com]

From: Thor Thayer <tthayer at opensource.altera.com>

Corrupted bytes in CAN transmission on the Altera CycloneV seem
to be an issue because the D_CAN registers are 32 bits [1].
Changing to a 32 bit write fixes the problem and this patch
includes one method of fixing the problem by selecting 32 bit
writes for D_CAN or 16 bit writes for C_CAN.

Another option would be to remove the D_CAN if test and always use
the priv->read_reg32() and priv->write_reg32() for both C_CAN and
D_CAN. The C_CAN read_reg32() function performs two 16 bit writes.
The code is cleaner without the D_CAN if branch but it adds additional
overhead for C_CAN (2nd 16 bit write may not be needed in many cases).

This patch isolates the changes to D_CAN and has been tesed on
on the Altera CycloneV devkit using a flood write test.
