PR1245 device lseek

[Victor.Vengerov at oktetlabs.ru (Victor Vengerov)]

Hi,

Hard disk etc. represented in RTEMS device driver with 
open/close/read/write/control interface. rtems_libio_rw_args_t argument 
is passed to device read/write primitives, which contains the offset 
attribute. offset filled in device_write (deviceio.c) from iop->offset.

May be I've missed something, but it looks for me you just need to 
adjust iop->offset in device_lseek in accordance to offset and whence 
arguments.

Regards,
Victor
