As pointed out by Al Viro for my previous series, the driver has no need to call access_ok() and __copy_from_user()/__copy_to_user(). Changing it to regular copy_from_user()/copy_to_user() simplifies the code without any real downsides, making it less error-prone at best. This patch by itself also addresses the warning about the access_ok() macro on MIPS, but both fixes improve the code, so ideally we apply them both.
