IMO, the device would need knowledge about itself and its parent, and the
parent, too, so calling either a fixed name ___ioctl() in the parent, or
keeping a pointer to that function in the parents' softc structure would
be the right thing to do. (You can access your parents' softc... your
struct device contains a parent pointer, and for a given sort of device,
you know where in the softc the struct device is embedded.).

Of course, not knowing what you want to do, take this with a grain of salt.
