Yes. I have kept the message assignment policy unchanged, they are equally
divided between reception and transmission. Therefore, in the case of 64
messages, 32 are used for reception and 32 for transmission. So a 32-bit
variable is enough.

Do you know if any of the hardware managed by Linux use a D_CAN controller
with 128 message objects?
