Ok, I thought that you were talking about per-process data being in the
file descriptor.
No, Linux has absolutely no concept of per-process data in driver, and
if you think of it that would be rather bogus anyway (e.g. a driver opening
the same device multiple times)
Hence why I was confused and asking you about it. Thanks =-)
