Commit d4eb538e1f48 ("can: isotp: TX-path: ensure that CAN frame flags are
initialized") ensured the TX flags to be properly set for outgoing CAN frames.

In fact the root cause of the issue results from a missing initialization of
outgoing CAN frames created by isotp. This is no problem on the CAN bus as the
CAN driver only picks the correctly defined content from the struct
can(fd)_frame. But when the outgoing frames are monitored (e.g. with candump)
we potentially leak some bytes in the unused content of struct can(fd)_frame.

What about skb_put_zero(), which I mentioned in my initial cover letter:
quoted
Note here the "B" and "E" flags are set. Another possibility is to use
skb_put_zero() instead of skb_put(), but with a bigger overhead. A 3.
option is to only memset() the non-data part of the struct canfd_frame.
