I have the feeling I'm missing something. If I remove the 'must not
sleep' requirement from the runtime suspend/resume functions, I get
this:

I.e. the core calls this function from atomic context. And in an earlier
thread you said the core can also call this before/after calling the
open/close callbacks (which applies here too, I think).

I think the callback is required to
 - not sleep
 - get the device in a power state that allows querying its registers

So, I don't see how splitting the xcan_get_berr_counter callback helps
here, especially since it is not even used within the driver.

	Thanks,
