Let's add Markus (the author of this patch) and the linux-can Mailing
list on Cc. I haven't implemented this feature, but Markus has.

IIRC BQL is mandatory for xmit_more(). And xmit_more() is used to batch
more then one transfer from the host to the CAN controller. This brings
a performance improvement on for tcan4x5x, which is connected via SPI.
And SPI is a quite slow bus with lots of overhead (at least on Linux).
