So in your ioctl call you want to get the device structure right?
If yes then have a look at scull/main.c file in scull folder at below
location.
git://github.com/martinezjavier/ldd3.git

Basically you need to set private_data of filp at open time with device
information and get the private_data from filp in ioctl.
If you don't understand then just have a look at the file I mentioned.
