The m_can.txt is for the m_can framework. If this is specific to the 
platform then it really does not belong here.

If the platform has specific nodes then maybe we need a 
m_can_platform.txt binding for specific platform nodes. But I leave 
that decision to Rob.

Also I prefer you spell out standby like the gpios are spelled out in 
the tcan binding.
