Thanks to the help of Joerg, this problem was solved. He pointed out that
this attribute needed to be defined in the can_attributes[] table in my
driver can.c. So by adding the following,

static int majnum = NO_DEV;
static unsigned char unused[300] = "";

and the following in my attributes table:

{
        "Device_Dir", CFG_ATTR_STRTYPE, CFG_OP_CONFIGURE, (caddr_t)unused,
                0,300,0},
}


the problem was solved.

Thanks Joerg!

Devinder.
