That does not work.
processor.h
enum cpuid_regs {
....
};
cpuid.c
struct cpuid_regs {
....
};
How do you make that struct definition static? And even if that'd work, how
would that help to avoid the name clash in cpuid.c?
Not at all.
Both the enum and the struct should be in processor.h obviously with
different names so we won't trip over this once more. And the obvious
naming is:
struct cpuid_regs {
u32 eax, ebx, ecx, edx;
};
enum cpuid_regs_idx {
CPUID_EAX,
CPUID_EBX,
CPUID_ECX,
CPUID_EDX,
};
as CR_E*X is just not intuitive at all.
