Hello Marc,

I've tested on S32N79 hardware. Without the quirk, the controller
reaches Transmit-Error-Counter=128 (error-passive at HW level) but the
driver only sees ERROR-WARNING - the passive interrupt never fires.

With the quirk enabled, ERROR-PASSIVE is correctly reported.
So FLEXCAN_QUIRK_BROKEN_PERR_STATE quirk is needed for S32N79.

Best Regards,
Ciprian
