Just for the sake of an ordered directory structure:

Would it make sense to create a rcar directory where rcar_can.c and
rcar_canfd.c are placed?

Additionally (besides of one accident with the obsolete PCH_CAN) all CAN
drivers start with CONFIG_CAN_...

Following that scheme the config option should be named

CONFIG_CAN_RCAR_CANFD

as we had in CONFIG_CAN_IFI_CANFD.

Some missed stuff from debugfs removal?

What's the reason behind this check?

A CAN FD capable CAN controller can be either configured to run as CAN 2.0
(Classic CAN) or as CAN FD controller.

So why are to throwing an error here and produce an initialization failure?
