In the next patches, the scope of the can-dev module will grow to engloble the software/virtual drivers (slcan, v(x)can). To this extent, release CAN_DEV by renaming it into CAN_NETLINK. The config symbol CAN_DEV will be reused to cover this extended scope. The rationale for the name CAN_NETLINK is that netlink is the predominant feature added here. The current description only mentions platform drivers despite the fact that this symbol is also required by "normal" devices (e.g. USB or PCI) which do not fall under the platform devices category. The description is updated accordingly to fix this gap.

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 Restructured Text 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.
