For 'real' hardware CAN devices the netlink interface is used to set CAN
specific communication parameters. Real CAN hardware can not be created with
the ip tool ...
The invocation of 'ip link add type can' lead to an oops as the standard rtnl
newlink function was called:

This patch adds a private newlink function for the CAN device driver interface
that unconditionally returns -EOPNOTSUPP.

This patch fixes a problem when a device is stopped while in the
bus-off state. Then the carrier remains off forever.

If dev_alloc_skb() failed in can_restart(), the device was left behind
in the bus-off state. This patch restarts the device nevertheless.

The CAN network device driver interface provides a generic interface to
setup, configure and monitor CAN network devices. It exports a set of
common data structures and functions, which all real CAN network device
drivers should use. Please have a look to the SJA1000 or MSCAN driver
to understand how to use them. The name of the module is can-dev.ko.
Furthermore, it adds a Netlink interface allowing to configure the CAN
device using the program "ip" from the iproute2 utility suite.
For further information please check "Documentation/networking/can.txt"
