Hi,

This function was removed from the mainline kernel so I added it only
for this file again, see:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f8fe99754673719ab791713a676bf27dae616fbc

I think we should convert the drivers using this function to the new
API, see here:
