Hans,

I've:
[peter@ace tmp]$ diff linux-2.6.35.13/scripts/mod/file2alias.c
linux-3.4.3/scripts/mod/file2alias.c

And found:
727a840
> ADD_TO_DEVTABLE("i2c", struct i2c_device_id, do_i2c_entry);

This line only exists on 3.4.3 version of file2alias.c. Isn't this why
it successfully compile with newer Kernel?

[]'s

Peter
