I have a question. I show the above reason.
In case CAN is integrated as MODULE, macro name is CONFIG_PCH_CAN_PCLK_50MHZ_MODULE.
On the other hand, integrated as built-in, CONFIG_PCH_CAN_PCLK_50MHZ.
To prevent PHUB source code from integrated as MODULE or BUILT-IN,
we re-define macro name in Makefile.

If use CONFIG_PCH_CAN_PCLK_50MHZ directly in the source code,
in case buit-in, behavior is not correct.
But in case module, behavior is not correct.

Please give us your opinion

Thanks,
Ohtake.
