Well, I can see nothing revealing in the log.
You’ve not mentioned if you tried in with Raspberry Pi OS but I did a quick comparison of the kernel options for the string _CAN in the OSMC (4.19.122-2) and RaspiOS (5.10.11+) kernels.
OSMC
osmc@osmc:/boot$ grep _CAN config-4.19.122-2-osmc
# CONFIG_CAN is not set
RaspiOS
pi@raspberrypi:/boot $ gunzip -c /proc/config.gz | grep _CAN
CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK=y
CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK_STATIC=y
# CONFIG_NET_EMATCH_CANID is not set
CONFIG_CAN=m
CONFIG_CAN_RAW=m
CONFIG_CAN_BCM=m
CONFIG_CAN_GW=m
# CONFIG_CAN_J1939 is not set

Yep, the difference is that big. The bottom line is that you’re a lot more lilely to get it working on RaspiOS. (OSMC is, after all, a mediacentre-focused distribution – and support for the Pi Zero will cease with the introduction of Kodi 19.)
Raspberry Pi OS working. thanks for the help and the warning about kodi 19.
