You miss the point. If one needs this feature, he/she has to implement it in the userland driver. So, there is no need in kernel driver API for that. IMHO it would make the kernel driver way too complex, to handle such pin input and do the required communication itself to the attached SmartCard (okay, it would be more secure then involving userland). But all other user suggestions here do *any* protocol handling in userland. And I second this.
