Expand description

Generate an ioctl request code for a command that writes.

This is equivalent to the _IOW() macro exposed by the C ioctl API.

You should only use this macro directly if the ioctl you’re working with is “bad” and you cannot use ioctl_write!() directly.

The read/write direction is relative to userland, so this command would be userland is writing and the kernel is reading.
