I haven't seen the update to 8.2.8.4.5 to know yet :)
You make a good point of at least being able to interact with the driver.
I think you could argue that if the driver binds, then the payload size is
accepted, in which case it would be strange to get an EINVAL when using
the ioctl with anything >1MB.
Concern was that if we mask off the reserved bits from the command
register that we could be masking part of the payload size that is being
passed if the accepted max is >1MB. Idea was to avoid any possibility of
this inconsistency. If this is being checked for ioctl, seems like it's
checking reserved bits.
But maybe I should just wait for the spec update.
