[PATCH v1] serdev: Add interface serdev_device_ioctl

[PATCH v1] serdev: Add interface serdev_device_ioctl

[Zijun Hu]

From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@quicinc.com>

For serdev_device which is mounted at virtual tty port, tty ioctl()
maybe be used to make serdev_device ready to talk with tty port, so
add interface serdev_device_ioctl().

Wrong error for returning that an ioctl is not handled :(

Anyway, what in-tree driver needs this functionality?  Why does serdev
need any ioctl commands?

checkpatch.pl always reports below WARNING when i use ENOTSUPP as present interfaces
do. so i change error code to EOPNOTSUPP.

#28: FILE: drivers/tty/serdev/core.c:412:
+               return -ENOTSUPP;

WARNING: ENOTSUPP is not a SUSV4 error code, prefer EOPNOTSUPP

i am developing driver for a special bluetooth controller which is integrated within SOC,
and it does not connect with the BT HOST with UART as normal controller do, but it has very
similar features as the BT controller with UART I/F. it is mounted on a virtual serial port
driven by a tty driver developed. but it need to call tty ioctl to make the 
special BT controller ready to talk with tty port. so i add this interface.

as you known, the main purpose of ioctl is to achieve MISC and irregular control. so it is useful
for these irregular devices.

Both of them are not the correct error to return when an ioctl is not
supported.

Please submit this change when you submit your driver that uses it at
the same time so we can review them all at once.  We do not add apis
that are not used in the kernel tree.

For tty devices, "custom" ioctls are not ok, use the standard tty
commands and you should be fine for everything you need to do.

If not, then perhaps your design is incorrect?

are there any other good solution to advise?

No, -ENOTTY is the correct one as per the documentation, right?

The 5.4 kernel is not relevant here, so I do not understand.

Why not work with the bluetooth developers on this?

if this is just to have some hackish Bluetooth driver, then NAK from my side. Since we have serdev, we have no need for, or requirements for any ioctl anymore. If such thing is needed, it is a bad design.
