It is supported to not use Address Claiming.

If you bind() your socket with only sockaddr_can.j1939.sa set to your
SA, and sockaddr_can.j1939.name to 0, makes your socket use your SA as
static address.

The strict addressing was rejected because it felt much heavier than
what most CAN users were used to. Moving to the current ad-hoc
implementation allowed to drop quite some kernel code too.
