In my understanding, the reason to have the check on if (cmd->adapter != a->controller) {report error} is to prevent the case where after xdi_copy_from_user() in diva_xdi_write(), data->adapter is changed from what is previously fetched in diva_xdi_open_adapter(), and hence, leading to using a wrong adapter to do interface.cmd_proc().
Although respective checks are in place in the three implementations of cmd_proc(), i.e., diva_4bri_cmd_card_proc(), diva_bri_cmd_card_proc(), and diva_pri_cmd_card_proc(), in my opinion, a better way might be doing this integrity right after the xdi_copy_from_user() in diva_xdi_write(), which is what this patch is for.
