Hey Alex,

Have a look at the following patch and see if you agree with my approach.  If so
simply add the code to a third version. 

Thanks,
Mathieu

Subject: [PATCH] stm class: Adding master and channel parameter to ioctl
 function

Just like the "write" function, architecture specific device need
to know about master and channels to do the correct operations on
a ioctl call.

Since this information is embedded in the stm_file structure that
is private to the stm class core, adding extra parameters to convey
the values is simple and clean.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we can come up with something better here.

Humm...  Do callbacks really need to have access to a struct output?
From my side of the fence dealing with individual master/channels is
sufficient but other people may have different scenarios.  The end
result is the same and modifying the callback signature doesn't
represent a lot of work.
