No need for structures to be versioned. If you change something, then
add a new ioctl if you really needed it.
Huh. We had thought the botching ioctls document advised having a version,
but as I double check that document, it infact does not.
Will remove.
Thanks, you can also remove the "reserved" variables as well as those
will not be needed either.
Are you sure?
Documentation/process/botching-up-ioctls.rst
Starting at Line 38:
"Pad the entire struct to a multiple of 64-bits if the structure
contains 64-bit types - the structure size will otherwise differ on
32-bit versus 64-bit. Having a different structure size hurts when
passing arrays of structures to the kernel, or if the kernel checks the
structure size, which e.g. the drm core does."
The "reserved" variables seem to be in line with that.
