Subject: can: ifi: Check core revision upon probe

From: Marek Vasut <[email protected]>

commit 591d65d5b15496af8d05e252bc1da611c66c0b79 upstream.

Older versions of the core are not compatible with the driver due to various intrusive fixes of the core. Read out the VER register, check the core revision bitfield and verify if the core in use is new enough (rev 2.1 or newer) to work correctly with this driver.
