Compiling the talitos driver with my GCC 4.3.1 e500v2 cross-compiler resulted in a failed build due to the anonymous union/structures introduced in this commit: crypto: talitos - enhanced talitos_desc struct for SEC1 The build error was: drivers/crypto/talitos.h:56: error: unknown field 'len' specified in initializer drivers/crypto/talitos.h:56: warning: missing braces around initializer drivers/crypto/talitos.h:56: warning: (near initialization for 'zero_entry.<anonymous>') drivers/crypto/talitos.h:57: error: unknown field 'j_extent' specified in initializer drivers/crypto/talitos.h:58: error: unknown field 'eptr' specified in initializer drivers/crypto/talitos.h:58: warning: excess elements in struct initializer drivers/crypto/talitos.h:58: warning: (near initialization for 'zero_entry') make[2]: *** [drivers/crypto/talitos.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [drivers/crypto] Error 2 make: *** [drivers] Error 2 This patch eliminates the errors by relying on the C standard's implicit assignment of zero to static variables.
