Which one is that?  Do you have a pointer to it somewhere?

Ah, I'm amazed that that driver even builds (well, I guess it doesn't.)
Please contact the author of that driver to fix that problem, I can't
build it (don't have the proper cross-compiler tools), and can't test
it, so you would be the best one to be able to resolve these types of
bugs.

Then you need to fix that :)

Again, do you have a pointer to the source for it?  Any reason why it
isn't part of the main kernel.org tree yet?
