Sorry to revive this two months old thread. Adapting to TAP output rules
requires this test to be moved to KUnit which is strictly not necessary and can
be done later.

Moreover, I do not have the hardware to run this testcase and I don't feel
comfortable moving this to KUnit without doing functional testing.

So for now, I will fix the return value of IOCTLs which is the real motive
behind this series.

Thanks,
Mani
