I still get those warnings. The two referenced lines are added by the commit above. The relevant parts of the file (in the version I have) are:
(lines 98 and 99)
static CLASS_ATTR(probe, S_IWUSR, NULL, cpu_probe_store);
static CLASS_ATTR(release, S_IWUSR, NULL, cpu_release_store);
...
(lines 262-266)
static struct sysdev_class_attribute *cpu_sysdev_class_attrs[] = {
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE
&class_attr_probe.attr,
&class_attr_release.attr,
#endif
class_attr_probe.attr is a "struct attribute" not a "struct
sysdev_class_attribute".
