No, this doesn't work the driver has to provide compat_ioctl
You would expect something like
if (!f.file->f_op->compat_ioctl) {
error = f_op->f.file->f_op->unlocked_ioctl((f.file, cmd, compat_ptr(arg))
}
But there is no such code under fs/compat_ioctl.c
The translation has to implemented by the device driver or registered directly in fs/compat_ioct.c in do_ioctl_trans or ioctl_pointer[]
If compat_ioct is not provided the application is receiving
: ioctl failure -1: Inappropriate ioctl for device
