This patch looks wrong to me.

flexcan_start_xmit should write data to register when can_dlc > 4.
Because can_dlc is data length and it has value from 1 to 8.

No. can_dlc can contain values from 0 to 8. Even 0 is a valid DLC.

But CAN data
index has value from 0 to 7. So in case we have data in cf->data[4],
the can_dlc has value is more than 4.

This is correct as data[0 .. 3] are filled from the code above. And if can_dlc is greater than 3 (== 4 .. 8) the following 4 bytes are copied into the registers.

So everything is correct with the current code.

+       if (cf->can_dlc > 4) {
                data = be32_to_cpup((__be32 *)&cf->data[4]);
                flexcan_write(data, &priv->tx_mb->data[1]);
