   Let's analyze this PR against the NuttX requirements:
   
   **Summary:**
   
   * **Why?**  Fixes two bugs in socketcan: incorrect default network device 
selection and broken cmsg data appending for timestamps.
   * **What?** Modifies network device selection logic and socketcan message 
handling ( `netdev_findbyaddr`, `can_sendmsg.c`, `psock_send_eventhandler`, 
`devif_poll`).
   * **How?** 
       * Prevents non-IP devices from being the default for sending IP data.
       * Ensures cmsg timestamp data is correctly included in socketcan 
messages by adjusting `d_sndlen` and `d_len` during copying.
   * **Issues:**  No linked issues, which would be ideal for traceability.
   
   **Impact:**
   
   * **New Feature?** NO
   * **Existing Feature Changed?** YES, socketcan functionality is corrected.
   * **User Impact?** YES. Users relying on socketcan will see corrected 
behavior for timestamped messages. This could be a breaking change if 
applications relied on the previous, buggy behavior. 
   * **Build Impact?**  NO. No build system changes are indicated.
   * **Hardware Impact?** NO. Changes target logic, not specific hardware.
   * **Documentation Impact?**  Potentially YES. If the previous buggy behavior 
was unintended, documentation might need clarification.
   * **Security Impact?**  Unclear.  Bug fixes can have security implications, 
but the description doesn't provide enough detail to assess.
   * **Compatibility Impact?** Potentially YES.  Fixing the cmsg data handling 
could break applications expecting the incorrect format. Backward compatibility 
concerns should be addressed.
   
   **Testing:**
   
   * **Host:** Insufficient. Only mentions "imx9 platform" - needs OS, compiler 
details for reproducibility.
   * **Target:** "imx9 platform" with ethernet and CAN interfaces. More details 
on the specific board and configurations used would be beneficial.
   * **Logs:**  Missing.  "Testing logs before/after" sections are empty, 
making it impossible to verify the fix's effectiveness.
   
   **Conclusion:**
   
   This PR addresses important socketcan issues but falls short of the NuttX 
requirements in several ways:
   
   * **Missing Issue References:**  Link related issues for better tracking.
   * **Incomplete Testing Information:** Provide detailed host and target 
environments and include actual testing logs demonstrating the fix.
   * **Unclear Impact Assessment:**  Elaborate on potential security and 
compatibility implications of the changes. 
   
   Addressing these points will significantly improve the PR's quality and make 
it easier for maintainers to review and merge.
