Ah, I see.

I didn't realize that the prototype for the locked ->ioctl function in
v4l2 does not take the inode argument, so that needs to be dropped from
my patch (i.e. not added).
Or we do it slightly better and clean up the code a bit in the process.
Mauro, does this patch make sense to you? It would be good to have your
Ack so we can queue this in the series leading to the removal of the
->ioctl file operation. We can also do the minimal change and let you
take care of fixing this up in a different way in your own tree.

Subject: v4l: convert v4l2-dev to unlocked_ioctl
v4l2 implements two separate file operations for drivers that use locked
and unlocked ioctl callbacks. Since we want to remove the ioctl file operation
in favor of the unlocked variant, this separation no longer seems helpful.
Unfortunately, there are still 77 drivers with locked ioctl functions in
their v4l2_file_operations, which need to be taken care of separately.
