The patch titled chardev: GPIO for SCx200 & PC-8736x: add platforn_device for use w dev_dbg has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is chardev-gpio-for-scx200-pc-8736x-add-platforn_device.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: chardev: GPIO for SCx200 & PC-8736x: add platforn_device for use w dev_dbg From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx> Add a platform-device to scx200_gpio, and use its struct device dev member (ie: devp) in dev_dbg() once. There are 2 alternatives here (Im soliciting guidance/commentary): - use isa_device, if/when its added to the kernel. - alter scx200.c to EXPORT_GPL its private devp so that both scx200_gpio, and the (to be added) nsc_gpio module can use it. Since the available devp is in 'grandparent', this seems like too much 'action at a distance'.
