If input_mt_request is:
struct input_mt_request {
__u32 code;
__u32 num_values;
__s32 values[];
};
then how passing in the data struct above work? The passed in data would be:
__u32 code;
__u32 num_values; /* BTW, this isn't set in the example above */
__s32 *values; /* This is left uninitialized in the example above */
int values[0]
int values[1]
int values[2]
...
int values[63]
I'm not too familiar with ioctl interfaces, but I don't see how this
example could work.

Why not fill in up to the size of the array provided?

This would be easier to understand if you did:
struct input_mt_request *req = (struct input_mt_request *)ip;
Then modify the stuff in a straightforward way.
