gadget.h uses structures defined in device.h, it must include it. In most cases, gadget.h is preceded by linux/platform_device.h, but if you are grouping headers sanely, device.h may not be pulled in until *after* gadget (e.g. mach/msm_device.h), thus gadget.h should not rely on something else #including device.h
As well as a number of other headers. I have postaed a patch addressing the missing #include's already.
include/linux/usb/gadget.h:488: error: field 'dev' has incomplete type
Why not just provide an "empty" prototype for whatever is needed.
Empty prototype of what, 'struct device'? Have you looked at the code at all? struct usb_gadget { /* readonly to gadget driver */ const struct usb_gadget_ops *ops; struct usb_ep *ep0; struct list_head ep_list; /* of usb_ep */ enum usb_device_speed speed; unsigned is_dualspeed:1; unsigned is_otg:1; unsigned is_a_peripheral:1; unsigned b_hnp_enable:1; unsigned a_hnp_support:1; unsigned a_alt_hnp_support:1; const char *name; struct device dev; }; How this is going to work with "empty prototype"?.
Generally, having header files include header files is frowned apon, and a number of people have been working on slowly unwinding a lot of this type of mess that we currently have.
IMO they could put their time to better use.
include/linux/usb/gadget.h: In function 'set_gadget_data': include/linux/usb/gadget.h:492: error: implicit declaration of function 'dev_set_drvdata'
Ick, but then, this gets messier.
What gets messier?
How about just fixing up the .c file that the problem happens in, to include device.h first? Is this an issue in the current tree somehow?
In my opinion, this is just insane approach.
thanks, greg k-h
