Hi!
Florian Faber has sent me some new bits of his work on hdspm. While the changes to hdspm.c are straight-forward, he also cleaned up struct hdspm_config and hdspm_status, thus changing the userspace API/ABI:

It's hardly to tell. But in general, once when the code is upstreamed, basically you can't change in an incompatible way. So, changing the existing ioctl struct is no-go. It's worse than dropping the ioctl. Please implement a new ioctl instead.
thanks,
