I think it is a good idea to move this into the kernel driver. I don't
have a slcan device, but a quick peek at its protocol suggests that
it can be done much easier and cleaner than in can327.
Fun fact: The use of a userspace "ignition" tool is a possible use case
baked into can327's design ;)
There is only one use case I can see for it though: Probing the
ELM327's baud rate, and/or setting it before attaching the ldisc. This
is the single thing that the kernel driver cannot do, since it is
attached to an already running TTY, with a fixed speed. Everything else
is configurable via "ip link".
slcand could be used to auto-probe and set the baud rate as well.
Then again, these stripped-down tools could likely be implemented as
shell scripts calling stty and ldattach...
