+Subject: [PATCH] can: flexcan: flexcan_irq_state(): only read timestamp if
+ needed
+
+The function flexcan_irq_state() checks the controller for CAN state
+changes and pushes a skb with the new state and a timestamp into the
+rx-offload framework.
+
+This patch optimizes the function by only reading the timestamp, if a
+state change is detected.
