The configuration ranges in print_usage() are taken from "Table 8 -
Time segments' minimum configuration ranges" in section 11.3.1.2
"Configuration of the bit time parameters" of ISO 11898-1.
The standard clearly specifies that "implementations may allow time
segments that exceed the minimum required configuration ranges
specified in Table 8".
Because no maximum ranges are given in the standard, all given ranges
{ a..b } are simply replaced with { NUMBER }.
The actual ranges are specific to each device and can be confirmed
doing:
$ ip --details link show can0
1: can0: <NOARP,ECHO> mtu 16 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 10
link/can promiscuity 0 minmtu 0 maxmtu 0
can state STOPPED restart-ms 0
ES582.1/ES584.1: tseg1 2..256 tseg2 2..128 sjw 1..128 brp 1..512 brp-inc 1
ES582.1/ES584.1: dtseg1 2..32 dtseg2 1..16 dsjw 1..8 dbrp 1..32 dbrp-inc 1
clock 80000000 numtxqueues 1 numrxqueues 1 gso_max_size 65536 gso_max_segs 65535
Finally, the unit (bps, tq, ns or ms) are given. The rationale to add
the units is that the TDC parameters (that will be introduced in the
upcoming patches) are measured in a different unit than the other
bittiming parameters: clock period (a.k.a. minimum time quantum)
instead of time quantum. Adding the units disambiguates things.
For reference, before the change:
