[Bug Fix] fix: initialize CAN channel and prevent duplicate DM control-loop thread start

[whats2000]

What does this PR do?

This PR fixes two initialization and runtime stability issues in the robot stack:

1. Initializes the CAN channel attribute in the CAN interface constructor so channel state is always defined.
2. Makes control-loop startup idempotent in DMChainCanInterface by guarding start_thread() so the control thread is not started twice.

These changes improve startup reliability and prevent duplicate control-loop startup.

Why is this needed?

• Missing or late channel attribute setup can cause inconsistent CAN interface state handling.
• Starting the control-loop thread multiple times can create unstable state updates and hard-to-debug hardware behavior.

What files are changed?

• can_interface.py
• dm_driver.py

How was this tested?

Manual QA

• Ran full hardware test on Yam Ultra.
• Validated with the lerobot framework via Bi-Yam integration: feat(robot yam): Add basic implementation for bimanual yam huggingface/lerobot#2920
• Validated with minimum_gello.py
• Confirmed startup is stable with no CAN channel initialization errors observed.
• Confirmed no duplicate control-loop startup in the tested workflow.

Local validation

• Verified the fix scope is limited to CAN interface initialization and DM control-loop startup behavior.
• Focused automated tests: not run.
• Full test suite: not run.

QA Result

PASS on Yam Ultra hardware and integration flows above.
No regressions observed in startup/control-loop behavior during these runs.

Risks and mitigations

• Risk: Changes touch startup and threading behavior in the motor control path.
• Mitigation: Scope is narrow, behavior is guarded and idempotent, and hardware validation was completed on Yam Ultra plus lerobot integration flow.

Checklist

• PR is scoped to one logical fix set.
• No unrelated refactors included.
• Added or updated automated tests where appropriate.
• QA steps completed and results recorded.

Pull request overview

This PR aims to improve robot startup stability by fixing CAN interface initialization state and adjusting YAM motor-chain initialization in get_yam_robot to avoid unintended side effects from repeated initialization/startup patterns.

Changes:

• Initialize CanInterface.channel in the constructor to ensure consistent object state.
• Change YAM real-hardware motor-chain creation to start the control thread immediately and remove the later manual start_thread() call.
• Update comments/logging around the YAM initialization sequence.
