I just wanted the vcan driver keep off including "include/linux/can/dev.h"
which is intended for 'real' CAN hardware.

As the vcan software devices do not need the bitrate-setting and skb echo
handling from the driver library for real CAN devices, this inline function
would be the only reason to include ".../dev.h"

But i don't have a strong preference to do it like this. Do you think i
should change it to used the defined inline function?

Oliver
