Subject: [PATCH] Staging: dt3155: Remove copy_to_user for ioctl's DT3155_{STOP|START}
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:57:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201007201757.52928.hartleys@visionengravers.com> (raw)

The ioctl's DT3155_STOP and DT3155_START are defined with the macro
_IO indicating that they have no parameters. They should not be using
copy_to_user to return data to user space.
