You are introducing a new naming for chosen nodes here. This will break other subsystems and samples relying on the current naming.
Why are these new chosen nodes needed?
Uh oh!

In the current Zephyr code,
I can see some Device Trees have defined CAN nodes with node id's- can##x while others have used flexcan##x
In short, I there is no generic way of creating node id's for a CAN node.
Now, I wanted to create a generic application which uses multiple CAN nodes, so I thought that the application writer (based on the number of CAN PHYs on his board) could create n number of CHOSEN nodes like zephyr_canbus##x.
I know that this will break other subsystems, and I can think more over it, but I feel that the original naming wasn't written with multiple CAN instances in mind.
@henrikbrixandersen I welcome your thoughts on this, please free to correct my understanding.

The "node id" you refer to is called the nodelabel, which matches (or at least should match) what the given IP block is called in the SoC datasheet.
For out-of-tree applications, you can add whatever chosen nodes and/or devicetree aliases you need in a devicetree overlay. For in-tree boards, samples, and tests we use the Zephyr-specific chosen nodes as documented here: https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/build/dts/api/api.html#zephyr-specific-chosen-nodes The rationale behind only supporting one CAN bus chosen node in Zephyr is that no in-tree code have yet needed to be able to support more than one CAN controller.
If you would like to propose a change to the naming of the Zephyr-specific chosen nodes, please open a separate RFC for this.

I would take back this chosen node change, since I feel it makes more sense to choose just one instance of a subsystem (out of many)
