Okay. Still unclear. Following snip is what I see in my local staging-testing branch.
<snip>
drv@debian:~/git/kernels/staging$ git grep dim_ch_state_t
drivers/staging/most/dim2/dim2.c: struct dim_ch_state_t st;
drivers/staging/most/dim2/dim2.c: struct dim_ch_state_t st;
drivers/staging/most/dim2/hal.c:struct dim_ch_state_t *dim_get_channel_state(struct dim_channel *ch,
drivers/staging/most/dim2/hal.c: struct dim_ch_state_t *state_ptr)
drivers/staging/most/dim2/hal.h:struct dim_ch_state_t {
drivers/staging/most/dim2/hal.h:struct dim_ch_state_t *dim_get_channel_state(struct dim_channel *ch,
drivers/staging/most/dim2/hal.h: struct dim_ch_state_t *state_ptr);
drv@debian:~/git/kernels/staging$
</snip>
Does that help?
