The following patch updates linux-2.5.2-pre8/drivers/mtd
to compile. This entails some kdev_t fixes and other updates
for changes to the block device driver interface.
In the case of one routine (ftl_reread_partitions), there was
a goto to a nonexistant label (goto leave), so I think there may have
been an incomplete patch applied to this subdirectory to begin with
(also, drivers/mtd/bootldr.c refers to a nonexistant "struct tag",
but that file is apparently not currently compiled anyhow).
I only know that this patch makes the code compile. I
have not tested it.

Looks sane - thanks. I see no harm in sending it to Linus. Could you run
the blkmtd.c changes past [email protected] first, though?

Not in my tree - strange. Oh well, I'll deal with it when 2.5 stabilises
and I stop ignoring it.

Currently, it's only compiled in the iPAQ kernel tree, where it works - I'm
waiting for the iPAQ people and Russell to stop arguing about how it should
be done, so the result will work in the proper ARM tree (and hence Linus'
tree) too.
Btw, where did you get the address '[email protected]' from? The list moved
a while ago, and I was going to remove the forwarding some time soon.

I don't see this ever being solved.
Basically, the iPAQ people are quite happy to ignore concerns of the
non-iPAQ community to the point of ignoring any and all discussion
about it for months on end, so I'm happy to not merge the stuff until
they've addressed our concerns.
