The rationale is that (1) it doesn't delete priv ioctls, they'll still work for the migration period (2) you can't rely on private ioctls having a certain meaning for each driver, ie. other drivers are free the reassign numbers of sub-ioctls (3) any behaviour that is generally useful should be standardised. johannes --=-0HZqMi7x8HoI+R5rMYGQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iD8DBQBFwfUG/ETPhpq3jKURAo3PAJ0a4c9N7jxqGGHksxP5DciPa/FApwCgr4tA Om5dZl4mRoE0qLHMCqa5X4g= =QzV1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-0HZqMi7x8HoI+R5rMYGQ-- --===============1481849047== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ wireless mailing list wireless@lists.tuxdriver.org http://lists.tuxdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless --===============1481849047==--
