What about changing this line to:

        if ((priv->bittiming.bitrate && priv->bittiming.bitrate != -1 &&

This would make the code a lot cleaner. Can you think of a nice macro
name for the -1?

0 could be CAN_BITRATE_UNCONFIGURED or _UNSET. For -1 I cannot find a
catchy name, something like CAN_BITRATE_CONFIGURED_UNKOWN or
SET_UNKNOWN.

The macros can be added to bittiming.h and be part of this patch. Ofq
course the above code (and slcan.c) would make use of the macros instead
of using 0 and -1.

Marc
