This eliminates the following warning in include/linux/usb/hcd.h: include/linux/usb/hcd.h:311:44: warning: ‘struct usb_device’ declared inside parameter list [enabled by default] include/linux/usb/hcd.h:412:10: warning: ‘struct usb_host_config’ declared inside parameter list [enabled by default] include/linux/usb/hcd.h:614:9: warning: ‘struct usb_interface’ declared inside parameter list [enabled by default]
Rashika, would it be enough to forward-declare these structures ISO #include'ing the whole header?
Where does this problem show up? Any file that include linux/usb/hcd.h should include linux/usb.h first. IMO it would be better to fix the source files that don't do the includes properly.
Yeah, let's fix the consequency instead of the cause. :-)
Of course, people have varying opinions on this issue. As far as I know, there is no fixed policy in the kernel about nested includes.
So far, I've only encountered the dubious policy of satisfying header's dependencies in the files that include them is the USB tree.
