What
This PR adds the suggested changes to the pierremolinaro/acan2517FD library as suggested in this PR
Why
There is a performance gain, disabling 2517FD compat mode, it no longer disables interrupts during SPI transactions which slightly increases performance and avoids delaying interrupts. There should be no downside to enabling this, since our Wiki suggests using the 2518FD chip instead.
How
Disabling the MCP2517 compatibility mode can be done in ACAN2517FD.h by uncommenting the
#define DISABLEMCP2517FDCOMPAT
line. By default we keep this disabled until someone has had time to test it properly on a heavy bus load CAN-FD setup.
