3. Deprecate struct can_bittiming as the user space interface
   and transfer each member individually via netlink. Extend
   the kernel-only can_bittiming by the tdc related
   parameters, and add these to the new netlink interface.

I prefer this, as I want to extend the bittiming_const in this way, too. There
are CAN controllers, where the bit timing calculation:

> 	bt->prop_seg = tseg1 / 2;
> 	bt->phase_seg1 = tseg1 - bt->prop_seg;

doesn't work anymore, as they have asymmetric prog_seg and phase_seg1, so that
splitting tseg1 in half doesn't work anymore.
