[Ovmsdev] Problems with IncomingFrameCan when registering two can buses.

[Michael Balzer]

I've added another minor change to avoid TX lockups if the bus is lost (i.e. disconnected). Also CMD_READ_RXBUF actually clears the interrupt flag itself, so we
can skip the additional BITMODIFY call.

The internal ESP32 CAN controller (SJA1000) unfortunately only has one TX buffer. I'm having performance issues with the TX speed on that, it's not consistently
sufficient high to get the Twizy charge control working reliably. Not sure yet if that's caused by the CAN controller, the driver or the RTOS.

Regards,
Michael
