Subject: [PATCH] fs: debugfs: add forward declaration for struct device type
Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:31:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1417361481-1136-1-git-send-email-arend@broadcom.com> (raw)
The function debugfs_create_devm_seqfile() has a parameter of type
struct device pointer. This type needs to be forward declared to
avoid compilation issues on certain architectures and/or kernel
configurations. The function was introduced with:
commit 98210b7f73f1db182bd9a558a031093cd166e907
Author: Arend van Spriel <arend@broadcom.com>
Date: Sun Nov 9 11:31:58 2014 +0100
debugfs: add helper function to create device related seq_file
The reported build failure for sparc64 architecture was:

All warnings:
