I really do prefer it if you can find a way to put the code in
drivers/fwctl instead of in DRM subsystem.

Shouldn't this be in the RPC function? Why keep the device awake as
long as a the FD is open?

There should be an EPERM here if the scope is not good enough..

This has implicit padding? Make the padding explicit or use packed..

"ate" is a typo?

This seems fine, though very simple in what it can do. Do you imagine
more commands down the road?
