Abstract it's usage away in a couple of new wrapper functions. 1) staging: comedi: wrap COMEDI_SRF_FREE_SPRIV usage 2) staging: comedi: move COMEDI_SRF_... macros to "comedi_fops.c" drivers/staging/comedi/comedi_fops.c | 41 ++++++++++++++++++++-- drivers/staging/comedi/comedi_internal.h | 1 + drivers/staging/comedi/comedidev.h | 18 +--------- drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.c | 2 +- .../staging/comedi/drivers/amplc_dio200_common.c | 6 ++-- 5 files changed, 45 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
