My idea was first to group per CONFIG symbol according to the
different levels: CAN_DEV first, then CAN_NETLINK and finally
CAN_CALC_BITTIMING and CAN_RX_OFFLOAD. And then only sort by
alphabetical order within each group.

By sorting the list, do literally mean to sort each line like this:

obj-$(CONFIG_CAN_DEV) += can-dev.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_CALC_BITTIMING) += calc_bittiming.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_DEV) += skb.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_NETLINK) += bittiming.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_NETLINK) += dev.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_NETLINK) += length.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_NETLINK) += netlink.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_RX_OFFLOAD) += rx-offload.o

or do you mean to sort by object name (ignoring the config symbol) like that:

obj-$(CONFIG_CAN_DEV) += can-dev.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_NETLINK) += bittiming.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_CALC_BITTIMING) += calc_bittiming.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_NETLINK) += dev.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_NETLINK) += length.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_NETLINK) += netlink.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_RX_OFFLOAD) += rx-offload.o
can-dev-$(CONFIG_CAN_DEV) += skb.o

?

(I honestly do not care so much how we sort the lines. My logic of
grouping first by CONFIG symbols seems more natural, but I am fine to
go with any other suggestion).
