No, it's not caused by that - in the subsystem tree there's an explicit
inclusion of linux/device.h in the public header which is what is being
relied on here.  You've gone and deleted that inclusion without CCing
the patch to the subsystem and now you're sending a fix again without a
CC to either me or the relevant list, and without even a mention in the
subject line.

In order to avoid bisection breakage I've applied one of the several
fixes for this that were sent to me today, please drop your change.

This stuff would go a lot more smoothly if you were to at least let
people know when you make changes, especially when issues introduced by
your changes get noticed.
