Sorry. Fixed this in my v2 and some how it came back. Will fix.

Its possible for future can transceivers drivers to be created. So I
thought including fixed was important to indicate that this is a "dumb"
transceiver similar to "fixed-link". So would "fixed-can-transceiver" be
ok or do you want to go with can-transceiver?
