Subject: [PATCH] hiddev: Add 32bit ioctl compatibilty
Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2007 16:51:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47100864.2090208@overt.org> (raw)

The hiddev driver currently lacks 32bit ioctl compatibility, so
if you're running with a 64bit kernel and 32bit userspace, it won't
work.

I'm pretty sure that the only thing missing is a compat_ioctl
implementation as all structs have fixed size fields.

With this change I can use revoco to configure my MX Revolution mouse.
