From: Daniel Scheller <[email protected]> drivers/media/pci/ddbridge exposes a few IOCTLs which are used by userspace utilities to ie. update PCIe card's FPGA firmware.
The IOCTLs chosen are in the range 0xDD/0xE0 up to 0xDD/0xFF, with 0xDD as sort of gimmick for "Digital Devices". To not conflict with the zfpc driver the upper range (0xE0-0xFF) is used. It is not clear if and which IOCTL numbers the zfpc driver really uses, from reading the sources at drivers/s390/scsi/ I couldn't really determine if IOCTLs are in use at all. Maybe the S390 maintainers can double-check or comment, thus Cc linux-s390. The upstream dddvb driver currently exposes 12 IOCTLs from which we're going to handle two at the moment (DDB_FLASHIO and DDB_ID), which is all that's required to perform the FPGA update on this hardware. The "reservation" of 32 IDs may seem way too much in this regard, however, we'd like to be able to stay compatible with the upstream out-of-tree driver as much as possible, so should any of the remaining 10 IOCTLs be required at any time (or even more, should upstream add more in the future), we can just add them into this range without any hassles or without creating conflicts anywhere.
