Another patch would be not to touch cf after netif_rx(), please
move the stats handling before calling netif_rx(). Same applies to
the kvaser_usb_rx_can_msg() function.

BTW, is it guaranteed from the SocketCAN stack that netif_rx()

netif_rx() is the generic networking stack already.

will never return NET_RX_DROPPED? Because if no guarantee
exists, I guess below fragment cannot be completely correct?

No, it's not guaranteed...

        stats->rx_packets++;
        stats->rx_bytes += cf->can_dlc;
        netif_rx(skb);

On the other hand, I don't see evan a single CAN driver checking
netif_rx() return value, so maybe such a check is an overkill...

A quick look shows that almost no ethernet or wireless drivers take care
about the return value. In case of a RX_DROPPED some increase a drop
counter, though.
