I already reviewed at91_can.c on the Socket-CAN ML and it's almost OK
from the Socket-CAN point of view. I just realized two minor issues:

It should depend on CAN_DEV because it used the CAN device driver interface.

This driver uses platform data. Could you please add some description on
how they should be used, e.g. like for the MCP251x:

 * Your platform definition file should specify something like:
 *
 * static struct mcp251x_platform_data mcp251x_info = {
 *         .oscillator_frequency = 8000000,
 *         .board_specific_setup = &mcp251x_setup,
 *         .model = CAN_MCP251X_MCP2510,
 *         .power_enable = mcp251x_power_enable,
 *         .transceiver_enable = NULL,
 * };
 *
 * static struct spi_board_info spi_board_info[] = {
 *         {
 *                 .modalias      = "mcp251x",
 *                 .platform_data = &mcp251x_info,
 *                 .irq           = IRQ_EINT13,
 *                 .max_speed_hz  = 2*1000*1000,
 *                 .chip_select   = 2,
 *         },
 * };
 *
 * Please see mcp251x.h for a description of the fields in
 * struct mcp251x_platform_data.

I find that really useful.

Wolfgang.
