recompile the kernel with can support, you find directions on this forum and the website how to compile and install the kernel yourself

it also seems that a CAN driver was merged in the 4.4 mainline kernel: http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort

That might be another way to try it. Let me know if you get things working 

Some more details here (including the driver code if you want to compile it): http://www.bananapi.com/index.php/forum/interfacing/1575-socketcan-dirver-for-a10-a20

and with the fresh release of Linux 4.4, here is the relevant commit adding the CAN support:
