can: at91_can: don't use mailbox 0
Due to a chip bug (errata 50.2.6.3 & 50.3.5.3 in "AT91SAM9263 Preliminary 6249H-ATARM-27-Jul-09") the contents of mailbox 0 may be send under certain conditions (even if disabled or in rx mode). The workaround in the errata suggests not to use the mailbox and load it with a unused identifier. This patch implements the first part of the workaround, it updates AT91_MB_RX_NUM and AT91_MB_RX_FIRST (and the inline documentation) so that mailbox 0 stays unused.
