only a partial review for now, waiting for a proper split to do the
full review.

Do not add random code refactors to your patch. If you want to change
those lines, put it in a separate patch.

Use FIELD_GET() here. Add the required GRCAN_MSG_EID_MASK macro in a
dedicated clean-up patch.

struct canfd_frame and struct can_frame share the same layout so try
to factorize what can be factorized, that is to say, everything except
of the dlc assignment.
