Hello,

can: virtio: Add virtio CAN driver
This commit adds a virtio CAN driver implementing a complete CAN bus
interface over Virtio transport, supporting both CAN Classic and CAN-FD
frames.

What happens to the enabled NAPI instances when this error path is taken?
virtio_can_restore() enables both NAPI instances at the start, but if
virtio_can_find_vqs() fails here, the function returns without calling
napi_disable().
The corresponding virtio_can_freeze() function disables both NAPIs before
returning, so the restore function leaves the NAPI subsystem in an
inconsistent state on failure.
If the PM framework retries restore after this failure, the second
napi_enable() call on an already-enabled NAPI will hit the BUG_ON in
napi_enable_locked():
net/core/dev.c:napi_enable_locked() {
BUG_ON(!test_bit(NAPI_STATE_SCHED, &n->state));
...
}
In contrast, virtio_can_probe() enables NAPI only after all setup
succeeds, avoiding this issue.

The same NAPI state issue occurs on this error path.

And again on this error path.
Should all three error paths call napi_disable(&priv->napi_tx) and
napi_disable(&priv->napi) before returning the error code?
