Please place the companion driver in

drivers/net/can/spi/companion.c

It also makes more sense in the Kconfig structure.

Probably this naming scheme also makes sense for

linux/drivers/char/spi/companion.c

then ...

If not it should be named at least

drivers/char/companion-spi.c

or

drivers/char/spi-companion.c
