Being in staging only requires 2 things, proper license, and it has to build. This fails on the second one: In file included from drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:1:0: drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.h:279:40: error: array type has incomplete element type drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c: In function ‘mp_startup’: drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:546:26: error: invalid type argument of ‘->’ (have ‘struct ktermios’) drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c: In function ‘mp_shutdown’: drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:573:40: error: invalid type argument of ‘->’ (have ‘struct ktermios’) drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c: In function ‘mp_change_speed’: drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:596:14: error: wrong type argument to unary exclamation mark drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:599:10: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘struct ktermios *’ from type ‘struct ktermios’ drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c: In function ‘mp_throttle’: drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:734:18: error: invalid type argument of ‘->’ (have ‘struct ktermios’) drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c: In function ‘mp_unthrottle’: drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:750:18: error: invalid type argument of ‘->’ (have ‘struct ktermios’) drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c: In function ‘mp_set_termios’: drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:1277:35: error: invalid type argument of ‘->’ (have ‘struct ktermios’) drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:1282:4: error: invalid type argument of ‘->’ (have ‘struct ktermios’) drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c: In function ‘mp_update_termios’: drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:1450:19: error: invalid type argument of ‘->’ (have ‘struct ktermios’) drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c: In function ‘mp_block_til_ready’: drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:1476:24: error: invalid type argument of ‘->’ (have ‘struct ktermios’) drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:1481:25: error: invalid type argument of ‘->’ (have ‘struct ktermios’) drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c: In function ‘multi_type’: drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:2763:14: error: bit-field ‘<anonymous>’ width not an integer constant In file included from drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:1:0: drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c: At top level: drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.h:279:40: warning: ‘uart_config’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable] drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c: In function ‘multi_type’: drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.c:2766:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type] make[3]: *** [drivers/staging/sb105x/sb_pci_mp.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [drivers/staging/sb105x] Error 2 make[1]: *** [drivers/staging] Error 2 Care to redo this against my staging-next tree, or, even better, linux-next, which contains a bunch of tty changes in it?
