if (_IOC_TYPE(cmd) != PP_IOCTL)
        return -ENOTTY;

Invalid ioctl command check normally performs by “default” case.

if (_IOC_DIR(cmd) != _IOC_NONE) {
       argp = (void __user *)arg;
       if (!argp)
             return -EINVAL; }

And for checking ioctl arguments, copy_from_user()/copy_to_user()
checks are enough.
