Just in case, I've checked the list of ioctls known to strace and can
confirm that there are no users of 'R' ioctl code in 0x20..0x2f range yet.

By the way, this file is definitely not up to date, the 'R' part of it
should have contained the following:

'R'   00-1F  uapi/linux/random.h                                     conflict!
'R'   01-02  uapi/linux/rfkill.h                                     conflict!
'R'   01-0D  uapi/misc/fastrpc.h                                     conflict!
'R'   C0-DF  net/bluetooth/rfcomm.h
'R'   E0     uapi/linux/fsl_mc.h
