The prime fd to handle ioctl was not used with rockchip before. Support was added in order to support potential uses (e.g. zero-copy video decode, camera).
Similar patch came around a few months ago and got this reply [1]. If the situation has changed (there is an open-source driver/user for this) it should be clearly mentioned in the commit message, as opposed to "in order to support potential uses".
Regards, Emil
