3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit bce271f255dae8335dc4d2ee2c4531e09cc67f5a upstream.
With upstream commit bb208f144cf3f59 (can: fix handling of unmodifiable
configuration options) a new can_validate() function was introduced.
When invoking 'ip link set can0 type can' without any configuration data
can_validate() tries to validate the content without taking into account that
there's totally no content. This patch adds a check for missing content.
