I re-created the constant by checking recent patches and where
IOCCMD_MASK was referenced in the patches. I found it in the ioctl
code and simply put a definition in tpqic02.c like this:
#define IOCCMD_MASK 0x0000ffff /* command code */
I've copied Linus about this and also tried to contact the maintainer,
based on the address in the header. The maintainer's address bounced.
