Drivers should return -ENOTTY ("Inappropriate I/O control operation") when an ioctl isn't supported, while -EINVAL is used for invalid arguments. Support for termiox was added by commit 1d65b4a088de ("tty: Add termiox") in 2008 but no driver support ever followed and it was recently ripped out by commit e0efb3168d34 ("tty: Remove dead termiox code"). Fix the return value for the unsupported termiox ioctls, which have always returned -EINVAL, by explicitly returning -ENOTTY rather than removing them completely and falling back to the default unrecognised- ioctl handling.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
