As described in the reference manual RM0386 (STM32F469xx and STM32F479xx advanced Arm®-based 32-bit MCUs) in paragraph 34.2, the bxCAN controller is a dual CAN peripheral configuration: • CAN1: Master bxCAN for managing the communication between a Slave bxCAN and the 512-byte SRAM memory • CAN2: Slave bxCAN, with no direct access to the SRAM memory. So, if I want to use CAN2 only (and not CAN1), I need to be able to use shared resources with CAN1 without having to probe the CAN1 driver. IMHO here is the justification of the parent node.
