Hello Marc,

Thank you for your review.

Correct, I will update the commit message in V2 to clearly state the two 
different CAN concepts (bus error vs device state changes -- not bus 
state changes).

I will update the description in V2 to: 'Bus Error detection and Device
state change interrupt'.

AFAIK, dt-schema YAML doesn't have else if.
The negated if (not/contains/enum) seems to be the standard approach 
used elsewhere in the dt-bindings tree, e.g., in [1], [2], [3].
