A static inline function "invalid_can_skb(skb)" (or "no_can_skb") would
be handy here:

	if (invalid_can_skb(skb)) {
		kfree_skb(skb);
		dev->stats.tx_dropped++;
		return NETDEV_TX_OK;		
	}

Another idea could be:

	if (can_dropped_invalid_skb(skb, dev))
		return NETDEV_TX_OK;

with

static inline int can_dropped_invalid_skb(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev)
{
	const struct can_frame *cf = (struct can_frame *)skb->data;

	if (unlikely(skb->len != sizeof(*cf) || cf->can_dlc > 8)) {
		kfree_skb(skb);
		dev->stats.tx_dropped++;
		return 1;
	}

	return 0;
}

Any preferences?
