Yes. State transitions are enabled with EI and EPI.

Send messages without cable connected and watch the error messages with
"candump any,0:0,#ffffffff". With "ip ... berr-reporting on" you should
see additional bus-errors.

List-only is straight forward while "self test mode" is not exactly like
"loopback mode", IIRC. Feel free to send a follow-up patch when you have
time for a thorough implementation and testing. It's also on my to-do
list for the SJA1000.
