NACK: there seems to be a massive bug in this code as I have the strong feeling that '=' must be replaces by '|=' in subsequent assignment of w0, W1... otherwise I don't understand the meaning of all this!
I don't know how RX filtering must be done in this controller neither how to test it so if nobody steps in to fix this, I'll probably have to do a patch based on datasheet only.
Please comment if you have a view on this.
Best regards, Nicolas
