Should arrive in a few minutes. Sorry. Will this be the follow-on patch you mentioned for fixing the "sparse errors" this driver produced? I'm wasn't sure what you meant with that. Oddly enough, I failed to repeat the compilation issue with allmodconfig on x86_64, but it did appear on allyesconfig. The problem is obvious, and it's strange my own test compilations went through even so.
