[PATCH] usblp_ioctl for non-little-endian machines
ioctl(LPGETSTATUS) is known to put the status into an int. The usblp driver has a problem in this area as it does not put it into an int but into a char. Let's see : from drivers/char/lp.c : lp_ioctl : int status copy_to_user((int *) arg, &status, sizeof(int)) from drivers/usb/printer.c : usblp_ioctl : unsigned char status; copy_to_user ((unsigned char *)arg, &status, 1) Even though in most cases it can work unnoticed on little-endian machines ;o), it's broken on non-little-endian machines (I got bitten on PPC).
