Hm, kernel.org's "linux-2.6.34.tar.bz2" builds here just fine with
lite5200b_defconfig and Socket-CAN support enabled for the MSCAN. I can
imaging that there are issues with more recent "-rc" versions due to
Grant's OF platform device generalization. Also the DTS entries entries
for MSCAN in lite5200b.dts seem OK.

Please use the mainline kernel for that board.
