The clocks are definitely wrong, but should not cause the crashing.
The only fix I needed for the ADS512101 board was to set the clock to
66MHz, instead of 100MHz in drivers/can/mscan/mscan.c:
clk->rate = 66000000;

Its a hack I know.

I have diff'ed this and it is very similar to the ltib in the BSP.
The MBX patches may be missing though.  These patches can be obtained
via the Freescale SDK for the OpenGL on the MPC5121e webpage.
