There were some discussions in y2038 mailing list[1]. An y2038 safe application/kernel use 64bit time_t(aka time64_t) to avoid 32-bit time types broken in the year 2038. Given that some time relative struct(e.g. timeval in ppdev.c) is mainly the offset of the real time, the old 32bit time_t in such application is safe. We need to handle the 32bit time_t and 64bit time_t application at the same time. My approach here is handle them as different ioctl command for different size of timeval. Build successful on arm64 and arm.
