The user space API is achieved via two synchronous IOCTL.
IOCTLs?
Will fix

Simplified one, RPMB_IOC_REQ_CMD, were read result cycles is
performed

by the framework on behalf the user and second, RPMB_IOC_SEQ_CMD
where

the whole RPMB sequence including RESULT_READ is supplied by the caller.
The latter is intended for  easier adjusting  of the  applications
that use MMC_IOC_MULTI_CMD ioctl.
Why "  "?
Not sure I there is enough clue in your question.

Description of the ioctl is missing, 
Will add. 

and it should certainly be designed in a way
quoted
that it does not need compat support.
The compat_ioctl handler just casts the compat_ptr, I believe this
should be done unless the ioctl is globaly registered in
fs/compat_ioctl.c, but I might be wrong.
You shouldn't need a compat ioctl for anything new that is added, unless
your api is really messed up.  Please test to be sure, and not use a
compat ioctl at all, it isn't that hard to do.

thanks,
