Still, there's no reason not to make the static functions declared at the top of the file. > drivers/message/fusion/mptspi.c:505: error: unknown field â..get_hold_mcsâ.. specified in initializer > drivers/message/fusion/mptspi.c:505: warning: excess elements in struct initializer > drivers/message/fusion/mptspi.c:505: warning: (near initialization for â..mptspi_transport_functionsâ..) > drivers/message/fusion/mptspi.c:506: error: unknown field â..set_hold_mcsâ.. specified in initializer > drivers/message/fusion/mptspi.c:506: warning: excess elements in struct initializer > drivers/message/fusion/mptspi.c:506: warning: (near initialization for â..mptspi_transport_functionsâ..) > drivers/message/fusion/mptspi.c:507: error: unknown field â..show_hold_mcsâ.. specified in initializer > drivers/message/fusion/mptspi.c:507: warning: excess elements in struct initializer > drivers/message/fusion/mptspi.c:507: warning: (near initialization for â..mptspi_transport_functionsâ..) This is actually because -mm is slightly behind the scsi-misc tree. It looks like the hold_mcs parameters haven't propagated into the -mm tree yet. You should be able to correct this by cutting these three lines: .get_hold_mcs = mptspi_read_parameters, .set_hold_mcs = mptspi_write_hold_mcs, .show_hold_mcs = 1, Out of the code at lines 505-507. You'll get a warning about mptspi_write_hold_mcs() being defined but not used which you can ignore.
