The aim of this is to reduce the organization violation of ioctl() calls in
IIO core. Currently, since the chardev is split across files, event ioctl()
calls need to be called in buffer ioctl() calls.
The 'industrialio-core.c' file will provide a 'iio_device_ioctl()' which
will iterate over a list of ioctls registered with the IIO device. These
can be event ioctl() or buffer ioctl() calls, or something else.
This is needed, since there is currently one chardev per IIO device and
that is used for both event handling and reading from the buffer.
Each ioctl() will have to return a IIO_IOCTL_UNHANDLED code (which is
positive 1), if the ioctl() did not handle the call in any. This eliminates
any potential ambiguities; if we were to have used error codes it would
have been uncertain whether they were actual errors, or whether
the registered ioctl() doesn't service the command.
If any ioctl() returns 0, it was considered that it was serviced
successfully and the loop will exit.
One assumption for all registered ioctl() handlers is that they are
statically allocated, so the iio_device_unregister() which just remove all
of them from the device's ioctl() handler list.
Also, something that is a bit hard to do [at this point] and may not be
worth the effort of doing, is to check whether registered ioctl()
calls/commands overlap. This should be unlikely to happen, and should get
caught at review time. Though, new ioctl() calls would likely not be added
too often.
