This will be used to prevent malicious or unintentional
flooding of messages via SocketCAN.

+         This TX attempt rate limit can be used to prevent flood of messages
+         from user space. It's TX "attempt" rate here instead of the "actual"
+         TX rate because we do the statistics for the TX attempt no matter if
+         the message TX is actually sent successful or not. The current
+         default value is "5" which means 5 messages per second that is proper
+         for an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system. For the use cases other
+         than IVI, this can be set to the value corresponding to the specific
+         requirement.

This default breaks our systems.  We send hundreds of messages/sec,
and at worst case when pushing an update out over CAN to other ECUs,
saturate the bus.  This should be opt in.

I have vague recollections from Oliver long ago that you can use
queueing disciplines to rate limit the interface, which should
implement this without any kernel changes.
