Hello, we need to add private ioctl to the driver sfxge(4) to make FW update, do internal diagnostics commands etc. We see at least two approaches in other drivers: 1. SIOCGPRIVATE_0/ SIOCGPRIVATE_1 on net device 2. dedicated char device with its own ioctl's Is there any recommendations on which way is preferred? Thanks, Andrew.
