When health & performance data is requested from the controller,
it responds with an error log containing the requested information.

This patch allows the request to me issued via an IOCTL.

A better explanation would be good - this IOCTL triggers a request to the controller to collect controller health/perf data, and the controller will later respond with an error log that can be picked up via the error log IOCTL that you've defined earlier.

And even more precisely (to also check my understanding):

by raising an interrupt to let the user app know that
