If the users are only expected to be another can module, it might make
sense to use a namespace here?!

How?

Use

	EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(can_sock_destruct, CAN)

instead of the plain EXPORT_SYMBOL, and near the declaration of
can_sock_destruct or in the source that makes use of the symbol add:

	MODULE_IMPORT_NS(CAN);

See https://lwn.net/Articles/760045/ for some details.

Looks nice! Good idea!

But I would tend to introduce the symbol namespaces for this and the other (existing) symbols via can-next and not within this patch set that addresses the j1939 fixes.

Best regards,
Oliver
