Nobody knows :-)

In fact I'm pretty sure conversion is correct:
0) ->data is passed as m->private,
1) DAC960_ProcReadStatus() -- print "OK" or "ALERT" if one controller is in alert mode,
2) DAC960_ProcReadInitialStatus() -- print ->CombinedStatusBuffer content, lenght is in ->CurrentStatusLength
3) DAC960_ProcReadUserCommand() -- (2) applied to ->UserStatusBuffer

	"%.*s" does exactly that.

4) DAC960_ProcWriteUserCommand() -- signature change to ->write method, controller is in PDE(...)->data
