Hello Olof,

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

As Gwendal said, I deliberately changed the IOCTL mayor number to
make it different in both kernels.

downstream:

#define CROS_EC_DEV_IOC              ':'
#define CROS_EC_DEV_IOCXCMD    _IOWR(':', 0, struct cros_ec_command)
#define CROS_EC_DEV_IOCRDMEM   _IOWR(':', 1, struct cros_ec_readmem)

mainline:

#define CROS_EC_DEV_IOC       0xEC
#define CROS_EC_DEV_IOCXCMD   _IOWR(CROS_EC_DEV_IOC, 0, struct cros_ec_command)
#define CROS_EC_DEV_IOCRDMEM  _IOWR(CROS_EC_DEV_IOC, 1, struct cros_ec_readmem)

I can also do what you suggested and keep ':' as the major and use 2/3
as command numbers but I just think 0xEC is a much nicer major for the
interface to talk with the Embedded Controller and it was available ;)

Best regards,
Javier
