This header file is the public API for the driver.
Should it not live under the 'include' directory?
Several other drivers seem to follow that convention.
It depends on how public is public.

If it's _really_ public, it should be in uapi.
If it's kinda public, then _maybe_ it should be
in include/linux, but how likely is it another
driver will use it?


It is intended for user space code that needs
to use the driver as it defines the netlink messages and
attributes that the driver understands. So I guess
uapi/linux would be the place for it.

Thanks,
