NACK - We already have such a functionality in the CAN subsystem.
Please have a look at the patches:

e759c626d826 can: m_can: Support higher speed CAN-FD bitrates
b54f9eea7667 dt-bindings: can: m_can: Document new can transceiver binding
2290aefa2e90 can: dev: Add support for limiting configured bitrate
54a7fbcc17bc dt-bindings: can: can-transceiver: Document new binding

regards,
Marc
