Ok, thanks.

Hm, I was using a Debian 6.1 kernel in between, which worked.

Then I booted my 6.8.0-rc4-00433-g92a355464776 again, reverted the patch 
and loaded the changed can-dev module by hand - which then also worked.

To double check now I was unloading the patched version and using the 
can-dev from /lib/modules again, also works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So, I'll have to make more investigations what really went wrong here.
I also was astonished about such CAN FD dependency.

Will come back with more info about my experienced issue.
So far please drop my blame for this patch.

Best regards,
Oliver
