There's two drivers for this.. the one in the linuxppc tree (maintained by
Wolfgang Denk, and the one in the MontaVista Linux (formerly HHL) tree which
is maintained by myself. Have been meaning to merge the two.. but lack of t=
ime
is a rather irritating nuisance.

If one of them doesn't have what you're looking for, you might wish to
consult the other one before making any decisions over what to start hacking
on..

As far as things like the ioctl() interface.. there really isn't much need =
for
it, since there isn't a whole lot that's needed in this case. Even powering
the panel on and off isn't worth dealing with through the ioctl() interface.
Is there anything in particular that you really have a need for the ioctl()
for?
