After looking through drivers/net/can/Kconfig I would probably phrase it
like this:

Select CAN devices (hw/sw) -> we compile a can_dev module. E.g. to
handle the skb stuff for vcan's.

Select hardware CAN devices -> we compile the netlink stuff into can_dev
and offer CAN_CALC_BITTIMING and CAN_LEDS to be compiled into can_dev too.

In the latter case: The selection of flexcan, ti_hecc and mcp251xfd
automatically selects CAN_RX_OFFLOAD which is then also compiled into
can_dev.

Would that fit in terms of complexity?

Best,
Oliver
