When I say CAN I'm referring to CAN 2.0 specification which mentioned
speeds upto 1 Mbit/s. While CAN FD supports higher bitrates.

What is arbitration speed?

Also if I understand you correctly then I agree drivers for traditional
CAN wouldn't care about this subnode. Although it may be helpful for
max-data-speed to become max-canfd-speed or something along those lines.
Just so the property's purpose is clear.
