In net-next, the .ndo_do_ioctl() callback behaves differently, as it no
longer gets called from user space. If you have any
SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctls in the driver, those need to be
moved over to the new .ndo_siocdevprivate callback, while any
nonstandard ioctl commands outside of that range can just be
removed.
