Subject: [PATCH] emac: Fix dangerous struct assumption
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2009 09:27:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090408092716.392c3005@hyperion.delvare> (raw)

The emac-core driver includes code which assumes that the work_struct
which is included in every delayed_work is the first member of that
structure. This is currently the case but might change in the future,
so use to_delayed_work() instead, which doesn't make such an
assumption.
