If you wanted to catch this, i'd say apply the O_ACCMODE mask and look for threes. I thought that you could catch it when oflags are passed in for the open, but I guess if a user wants to pass a 3, and exploit the side effect that you get a non blocking file that is not read or write, I guess that is their right. But for me since I must know whether they want to read or write the device (in order to configure it) that is an error situation. Just not one that you would expect to happen, but I guess it is ok.
