can_change_mtu() became obsolete by commit 2304993860 ("can: populate the
minimum and maximum MTU values"). Now that net_device->min_mtu and
net_device->max_mtu are populated, all the checks are already done by
dev_validate_mtu() in net/core/dev.c.
Remove the net_device_ops->ndo_change_mtu() callback of all the physical
interfaces, then remove can_change_mtu(). Only keep the vcan_change_mtu()
and vxcan_change_mtu() because the virtual interfaces use their own
different MTU logic.
The only functional change this patch introduces is that now the user will
be able to change the MTU even if the interface is up. This does not matter
for Classical CAN and CAN FD because their MTU range is composed of only
one value, respectively CAN_MTU and CANFD_MTU. For the upcoming CAN XL, the
MTU will be configurable within the CANXL_MIN_MTU to CANXL_MAX_MTU range at
any time, even if the interface is up. This is consistent with the other
net protocols and does not contradict ISO 11898-1:2024 as having a
modifiable MTU is a kernel extension.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
