Pali, do you agree with this?

Hrm, my hope had been to make this transparent at this level. ... This
may need more thought. I don't care for the casting here.... hopefully
enlightenment lies below...

We ensure we don't write beyond buf, but we havne't ensured we don't read beyond
obj.
if (obj->length != input.length) { // or maybe >= ??
pr_err("invalid buffer length : %d\n", obj->length);
return -EINVAL;
}

Assuming PAGE_SIZE here (I know, this driver, this architecture,
etc...). But, please use get_order() to determine number of pages
from a linear size:
__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL, get_order(32768));

Use a consistent way to allocate and set the len. Maybe set bufferlen
above and use get_order(bufferlen).

If this cannot be avoided, then use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DCDBAS).
I still think we should be to come up with a cleaner way to deal with
the two buffers than a bunch of #ifdefs and if (wdev) {} else {} blocks.

Follow coding style when modifying comment blocks (even when they
didn't before) please. See coding-style 8) COmmenting.
/*
