I agree about new drivers defining their ioctls in a compatible way,
though Ideally
I'd say subdev drivers should not use custom ioctls at all. There are
two other drivers
that define private subdev ioctls and that lack a working compat handler:

- the omap3 isp driver would not work in compat mode, though I don't think there
  are any 64-bit SoCs using this hardware. The Sitara AM6 and J72 SoCs
  are the only chips in that family at the moment, but these don't
seem to include
  any image processor.

- The Intel Atom ISP driver has a broken compat ioctl handler that I remove
  in this series, but the  v4l2_subdev_core_ops->compat_ioctl32 callback
  would be the correct place to hook these up if they do not get fixed.

Thanks!
