Sorry I had not realized that this patch got queued in the watchdog tree and relied on the other patches. I ended up not sending the series after a runtime regression in another driver, combined with the series not having spent much time in linux-next before the merge window. I've sent a fixup patch now that will make it do the right thing regardless of my series, please apply that for v5.4. Arnd

The cpwd_compat_ioctl() contains a bogus mutex that dates back to a leftover BKL instance. Simplify the implementation by using the new compat_ptr_ioctl() helper function that will do the right thing for all calls here. Note that WIOCSTART/WIOCSTOP don't take any arguments, so the compat_ptr() conversion is not needed here, but it also doesn't hurt.
