Looking down toward the bottom, I see:

> +	struct can_priv can;

So you're still using the "put the higher-level structure at the top so we
can treat it like either kind of pointer" trick.  I'd still recommend
against that.  Far better to do something like:

	struct can_priv *canpriv = netdev_priv(dev);
	struct sja_1000_priv *priv = container_of(canpriv, struct sja_1000_priv, can);

Of course, you can put that dance into a helper function.

So zero is an error return?  That's contrary to usual practice.

Wouldn't you want to read the new state *after* the delay?

Here too?

How many of these might you get?  Should this be rate limited?

If you return here you fail, but you've not undone open_candev().  Looking
there, it seems no harm will be done - until somebody changes open_candev()
someday.

What are the locking rules for functions like ->read_reg() now?  Entirely
up to the lower level?  Would be good to document that near the structure
definition.

The meaning of these fields is not exactly clear.
