The CAN bus support enabled with CONFIG_CAN provides a socket-based
access to CAN interfaces. With the introduction of the latest CAN protocol
CAN XL additional configuration status information needs to be exposed to
the network layer than formerly provided by standard Linux network drivers.
This requires the CAN driver infrastructure to be selected by default.
As the CAN network layer can only operate on CAN interfaces anyway all
distributions and common default configs enable at least one CAN driver.
So selecting CONFIG_CAN_DEV when CONFIG_CAN is selected by the user has
no effect on established configurations but solves potential build issues
when CONFIG_CAN[_XXX]=y is set together with CANFIG_CAN_DEV=m

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
