Sure but what do you do if the main command, i.e., PEK_GEN succeeds but
the shutdown command fails?

You probably should carve out the whole shutdown order in separate
functions. I mean, the sequences do repeat in a couple of functions so
you could do:

ioctl:

case <CMD>:

init_platform()
do_main_cmd()
shutdown_platform()
break;

and this way you have everything nicely separated and retvals properly
tracked...

Hmmm?
