This reference doesn't point to the right code as vxcan has its own 
handling do assign ml_priv in vxcan.c .

No. It looks right as I did not get behind the ALIGN() macro at first sight.

But it is still open why dev->ml_priv is not set correctly in vxcan.c as 
all the settings for .priv_size and in vxcan_setup look fine.
