Whole CAN code in RIOT is using 'struct can_frame' to represent a CAN
frame.
However incoming CAN FD support will bring 'struct canfd_frame' to
represent CAN FD frames.
Even if the 'struct canfd_frame' has additional flags and a bigger
payload, it is aligned on 'struct can_frame' and thus they can be
referenced by the same pointers in the code.
As it is impossible to predict which one will be used in RIOT, just
define a new type 'can_frame_t' which will map to the right struct
according to the MCU CAN supported format.

The CAN stack support only raw CAN at this time.
It contains a device interface (drivers/include/can/candev.h) and the data link
layer, build around can/device.c can/pkt.c and can/router.c. can/dll.c contains
the upper level and lower level interface to send and receive CAN frames.
Upper layer interface is located in include/can/raw.h
