staging: comedi: maybe force CMDF_WRITE command flag

Browse source

Most comedi subdevices that support asynchronous commands only support
data transfer in either the "read" or "write" direction, as indicated by
the `SDF_CMD_READ` and `SDF_CMD_WRITE` subdevice flags, although a few
support both directions on the same subdevice (though not
simultaneously).  The `struct comedi_cmd` structure passed via ioctl
call to set up the command contains a `CMDF_WRITE` flag that can be used
to choose the direction if the subdevice supports both directions, but
the flag is optional if the subdevice only supports data transfer in one
direction.

If the subdevice only supports asynchronous data transfer in a sing
direction, set the `CMDF_WRITE` flag to the correct state so that Comedi
can make use of it later.  In the case of the `COMEDI_CMDTEST` ioctl,
the updated flag will be written back to the `struct comedi_cmd` in
user-space.  In the case of the `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl, the flag only gets
written back if an error is detected while testing the command, or if
the `CMDF_BOGUS` command flag is set.  Since `__comedi_get_user_cmd()`
is called for both ioctls, that's a good place to set the flag.
