If you didn't have to agree to some really odd license, you can post it 
as a patch on the list. Make sure to make it _very_ clear that you are 
not sure about the license and for what reason. Things like licensing 
should be discussed with the community in public so that the discussion 
is archived together with the list.

In that case the static variable will make trouble. You have a static 
counter. If I register the bus, deregister it and register it again, the 
counter will have odd values.

Better: Use some macro to automate that and enable or disable all debug 
messages at once. Also it's not the nicest solution, it's not uncommon 
to have something like that. Examples are:

cpukit/libdrvmgr/drvmgr.c:44:#define DBG(x...) printk(x)

cpukit/include/rtems/posix/aio_misc.h:116:#define AIO_printf(_x) printf(_x)

cpukit/libfs/src/ftpfs/ftpfs.c:61:  #define DEBUG_PRINTF(...) 
printf(__VA_ARGS__)

bsps/mips/malta/pci/pci.c:49:  #define JPRINTK(fmt, ...) printk("%s: " 
fmt, __FUNCTION__, ##__VA_ARGS__)

You put a pointer to the tx_fifo into msg:

   msg = &bus->tx_fifo.pbuf[bus->tx_fifo.tail];

and then return that pointer to the application:

   return msg;

The function is not static so it's clearly not internal use only. Even 
if it would be internal only, I would suggest to split it into a get 
buffer and mark buffer empty after it has been copied. Otherwise you 
have to be _really_ carefull that the framework can't overwrite the 
buffer while it is still used.

Is the part in can-queue intendet to be used by an application? 
Otherwise you should not install the headers so that a user can't use them.

You should allways disable as few as possible. So if you can only 
disable can interrupts instead of all interrupts, you should do that. 
Otherwise you make assumptions about a user system. In that case you 
assume that CAN is the most important thing in the system and therefore 
it disables all other interrupts so that it can do it's work.

Is it really necessary to copy the whole buffer in the interrupt lock or 
could you prepare all data and then only copy one controll structure?

Same as above: Don't make assumptions about what is critical in the 
system. Disable only the CAN interrupt if that is possible.

Are the buffers used or only a small controll structure with a pointer 
to the buffers?

Can it be some parameter that is passed for example during 
initialization so that a user can decide how much he needs?
