It's curious that the implementation of set and clear in CDX call
through to functions with non-void returns, but we simply ignore the
return in cdx_clear_master().  Does something prevent clear from
failing?

I also note internally that true is used for enabling and false for
disabling, which is effectively opposite of the proposed uAPI in the
previous patch.

If the idea here is that the user should assume bus master is disabled
when opening the device, what happens if the user closes the device
with bus master enabled?  What would cleanup that state for the next
user?

Is there a use case for the GET operation in userspace?  Thanks,

Alex
