The mcp251x driver uses the Linux CAN driver infrastructure, e.g. to be able
to set bitrates and other settings with the ip tool from the iproute2 package.
See:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.8.5/Documentation/networking/can.txt#L746
You can find the according header files and implementations in:
linux/include/linux/can/dev.h
and
linux/drivers/net/can/dev.c
Please take care that CONFIG_CAN_DEV and CONFIG_CAN_CALC_BITTIMING are enabled
in your Linux kernel configuration, see:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.8.5/drivers/net/can/Kconfig#L33
Regards,
Oliver
