The most common pattern in iproute2 is to let json/non-json be decided
inside the print routine.  I search for all instances of fprintf as
indication of broken code. Also these are not signed values so please
print unsigned.  The code should use print_nl() to handle the single line
case. Also, there is helper to handle 

Something like:
              __u32 tdc = rte_getattr_u32(tb[IFLA_CAN_TDC_TDCV]);

		open_json_object("tdc");
		print_nl();
		print_u32(PRINT_ANY, "tdcv", "    tdcv %u", tdcv);
