No point in clearing ->private_data, the file is about to be freed.

Pleae don't use the weird legacy filp naming, file is a perfectly
valid and readable default name for struct file pointers.

Please split each ioctl into a separate function from the very start,
otherwise this will grow into a spaghetty mess sooner than you can
see cheese.

No need this weird argument alignment.
