As with most of ioctl decoders, the entering part and the error path of
the exiting part of ioctl syscall can be tested without any device at all,
and most of tests in tests/ioctl_*.c actually test only these parts.

To test the whole decoders, you need a properly functioning device.
According to linux/tools/testing/selftests/ptp/testptp.c,
it's /dev/ptp0 for PTP ioctls.
