Hi, Thomas! Thanks for looking into the patch! I somehow miss why it won't
work 'cause compat_ptr_ioctl already does the same conversion as in your
code below, no? I miss something obvious?

```
long compat_ptr_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
{
	if (!file->f_op->unlocked_ioctl)
		return -ENOIOCTLCMD;

	return file->f_op->unlocked_ioctl(file, cmd, (unsigned long)compat_ptr(arg));
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(compat_ptr_ioctl);
```
