I'm seeing the following warning message during a kernel build: CC [M] drivers/media/video/gspca/gspca.o drivers/media/video/gspca/gspca.c:1811: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type The root cause appears to be a missed prototype change in a conversion from ioctl to unlocked_ioctl - in struct file_operations, the former is an int, but the latter is a long. So we clean it up. I have to admit not having checked deeply for second-order effects, but the kernel builds without warnings and the result works for me. The only other use of __video_ioctl2 I can see is in drivers/media/video/ivtv/ivtv-ioctl.c, and there it's used as a return value from a function already defined to return a long, so we save an int->long cast...
