static int usbdev_ioctl(struct inode *inode, struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
{
	struct dev_state *ps = file->private_data;
	struct usb_device *dev = ps->dev;
	void __user *p = (void __user *)arg;
	int ret = -ENOTTY;

	if (!(file->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE))
		return -EPERM;

That check fails as your application falls back to opening read only in
case of insufficient permissions. Did you change some udev rules?
