Since that layer is not kept as a separate submodule, your only reasonable
option would be copying, so I'll jump in to preempt that.  

It would be better with a single location (shared maintenance).  meta-
genivi-dev is where we keep things that (seem to be so far) unique to our
platform, so rather than recommending to reuse that layer we strive to push
things out of there, as soon as it makes sense.

I'm happy to move cannelloni to a generic layer if there is wider interest.

meta-can-networking?  There might be some other CAN associated components of
interest so that it does not become one of those single-recipe layers...

On the other hand, some related things are elsewhere:

- meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-extended/socketcan/*

Please share your thoughts.
