Add USBTMC_IOCTL_CTRL_REQUEST to send arbitrary requests on the
control pipe.  Used by specific applications of IVI Foundation,
Inc. to implement VISA API functions: viUsbControlIn/Out.

The maximum length of control request is set to 4k.

Wait, why?  You are creating a new api here, why do you need a 32bit
compat layer?  Just create it in a way that works for both layouts.
Just make your pointer a 64bit value and cast it to the pointer when
using it.  Other ioctls do this in lots of places, making things simpler
overall.  That way you don't need an ioctl compat call at all.

Please rework the code that way, don't create new apis that have to add
"old" 32bit compatibility support to them.  That's just extra work you
don't need to do here.

thanks,

Maybe I'm still missing something. You wanted us that the driver supports
32 bit applications on 64 bit systems. Therefore we added the patch
[PATCH v2 07/29] usb: usbtmc: Add support for 32 bit compat applications
I do not know any other way to make ioctl functions working for
32 bit application, except adding the line .compat_ioctl = usbtmc_compat_ioctl.
Please note that all other ioctl calls like USBTMC_IOCTL_CLEAR etc. do not
work for 32 applications as well when we omit patch 07.

Please let us first agree on patch 07 and then we can continue to discuss patch 08.

Regards,

-Guido
