Please add a possibility to specify the socket family used by the socketcan plugin for QCanBus

    • Linux/Wayland, Linux/X11, Linux/Other display system

    Description

      The socketcanbackend.cpp opens the socket hardcoded:

      if (Q_UNLIKELY((canSocket = socket(PF_CAN, SOCK_RAW | SOCK_NONBLOCK, CAN_RAW)) < 0)) {
        setError(qt_error_string(errno), QCanBusDevice::CanBusError::ConnectionError);
        return false;
      }
      

      Now what if you have a device that does not use CAN_RAW as the family. But instead uses a different implementation defined by the hardware vendor?

      In my case, I have to pass "7" instead of whatever value CAN_RAW has, to get socketcan working on my device.

      Probably the socketcan plugin can get made configurable so that you can pass an arbitrary value here?
