Regarding this patch, I came up with this ioctl because I thought implementing an IrDA netlink layer would be an overkill for just one single command. What I propose is that you revert this patch before we introduce a new ioctl upstream while I start implementing a netlink IrDA layer. Would that be ok with you, or can we let this new ioctl in and have it coexisting with a future netlink layer ?
