+* AT91 CAN *
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: Should be "atmel,at91sam9263-can" or "atmel,at91sam9x5-can"
+  - reg: Should contain RTC registers location and length
+  - interrupts: Should contain IRQ line for the CAN controller
+
+Example:
+
+	can0: can@f000c000 {
+		compatbile = "atmel,at91sam9x5-can";
+		reg = <0xf000c000 0x300>;
+		interrupts = <40 4 5>
+	};
