Hi,
Today I discovered an issue while building linux-next for at91:
CC arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9260_devices.o
In file included from /home/nferre/dev/lnx_buid_test/arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9260_devices.c:12:0:
/home/nferre/dev/lnx_buid_test/arch/arm/include/asm/mach/arch.h:46:2: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘bool’
It also applies to all non-DT at91 platforms (~ 6 machines).
It seems to be caused by inclusion of commmit
4dbfa9a25367cfa91aec0e56d75a6905d3242cd3 (ARM: Enable selection of
SMP operations at boot time) and its use of the "bool" type.
In fact, we include asm/mach/arch.h file in our at91xxx_devices.c files and
we include it as the first include directive.
So, I am wondering if the best correction is to add the types.h header file
in the asm/mach/arch.h file, like this:
--- a/arch/arm/include/asm/mach/arch.h
+++ b/arch/arm/include/asm/mach/arch.h
@@ -8,6 +8,8 @@
* published by the Free Software Foundation.
*/
+#include <linux/types.h>
+
#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__
struct tag;
or if a better option would be to re-arrange the include directives in
various at91xxx_devices.c files?
Thanks, bye,
