This patch doesn't apply to net/master, since v5.10 there is a
similar fix:

85816aba460c can: m_can: Fix freeing of can device from peripherials

Please update to latest v5.10.x. If you're on a kernel that's still
supported, and you're using the latest stable of that kernel, and it
doesn't have that patch applied, ask on linux-stable to pick up that
patch.
