Could you please a) verify that simply removing that line fixes the build error and then b) try to find some way of fixing it? Try replacing `sizeof(*dmi_dev)' with `sizeof(struct dmi_device_attribute)' and any other tricks you can think of to try to make the compiler process the code differently. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
