Subject: Re: [PATCH] Change paride driver to use unlocked_ioctl instead of
 ioctl

Sorry missed the function prototype and includes earlier.
Here is the corrected patch. Build tested.

The ioctl handler is called with the BKL held. Registering
unlocked_ioctl handler instead of registering ioctl handler.
