Next step would be to do the statistics inside can_get_echo_skb(), but that's
affecting all drivers using it ...

Interesting idea

Yes, but then the name of the function is not appropriate anymore.

The return value for can_get_echo_skb() gives a silent improvement that can be
adopted by CAN drivers by the time. But hiding more functionality inside this
function may lead to misunderstandings.

That's what I described with the obscure phrase "..." :-)

Marc's proposed patch is indeed easier to digest at the time.

+1, I'll repost my fixed branch. Let's first integrate that one.
