<mpi3mr> Driver Development team understood the request and we will work
to accommodate <bsg> interface in <mpi3mr> driver and remove ioctl hooks.
Currently there are many in-house application and library developed that
depend upon ioctl interface. Immediately dropping ioctl support will
create lots of issues for Development/Test (within a org +  OEM testing).
How about accepting updated ioctl patch-set after reviewed-by tag (which
will not use static MAJOR number) for time being  ?

Once we have <bsg> interface developed and test qualified, we will post
patch-set.
We will also keep posting some intermediate <bsg> interface patch (for
mpi3mr driver) as PATCH or RFC so that, we can make sure changes are
in-line with upstream design goal.
