This is a great suggestion. I was not a fan of getting the
original CAN frame, this TX ACK solves the issue.

Nitpick, but I prefer to write:

+                is_err_frame = flags & KVASER_USB_HYDRA_CF_FLAG_TX_ACK &&
+                               flags & KVASER_USB_HYDRA_CF_FLAG_ERROR_FRAME;

This line is related to the tx RTR. I will rebase this into
"can: do not increase rx_bytes statistics for RTR frames" (patch 4/5).

Same here, there is no need anymore to move this block *in this
patch*, will rebase it.

sending error message frames") will become:

Does this look good to you? If so, can I add these tags to patch 2/5?

Also, can I add your tested-by to patches 1/5, 4/5 and 5/5?
