Please let the subject explain what was fixed.
The fact that you used headers_check to detect the
issue in the first place is less relevant.

For mips the subject could have been:

mips: use userspace compatible definition of _IOC_TYPECHECK

Did you concentrate solely on headers_check output
or did you carefully inspect the files you touched for userspace issues?
I stroingly recommend to fix all userspace issues in files touched
if this is possible.
