I provoke state changes, e.g. by sending a message without connection to
the bus. On the Mx28, the TWRN_INT/RWRN_INT/(BOFF_INT?) does trigger the
corresponding interrupt. This does not work properly on some other
cores, e.g. the Mx35. Therefore we enable ERR_INT for those cores to
realize state changes.

OK, we need to find that out experimentally.
