You mean:

| $ grep ^CONFIG_CAN .config
| CONFIG_CAN=m
| CONFIG_CAN_RAW=m
| CONFIG_CAN_BCM=m
| CONFIG_CAN_GW=m
| CONFIG_CAN_DEV=y
| CONFIG_CAN_VXCAN=y
| CONFIG_CAN_NETLINK=y
| CONFIG_CAN_CALC_BITTIMING=y
| CONFIG_CAN_RX_OFFLOAD=y
| CONFIG_CAN_DUMMY=y
| CONFIG_CAN_GS_USB=y

...which works for me.

regards,
Marc
