I assumed this change to -EOPNOTSUPP reflected a consensus in kernel-land, it's obviously not the case. This patch was supposed to be a trivial clean-up...
No, it's just some random guy sent a patch. They've not made any perceptible effort to interact with any of the existing users.
So to be clear, what is the direction for existing code a) keep -ENOTSUPP as is? b) move to -EOPNOTSUPP?
And what is the preference for new code?
If you want to change this you'd need to change it over the whole subsystem (if not other subsystems), including the places where the value is used.
