Hi Andrew,
Kernel build fails on my machine with error :


  LD      drivers/net/ehea/built-in.o
  CC [M]  drivers/net/ehea/ehea_main.o
drivers/net/ehea/ehea_main.c: In function ‘ehea_driver_sysfs_add’:
drivers/net/ehea/ehea_main.c:2812: error: ‘struct device_driver’ has no
member named ‘kobj’
drivers/net/ehea/ehea_main.c:2815: error: ‘struct device_driver’ has no
member named ‘kobj’
drivers/net/ehea/ehea_main.c:2818: error: ‘struct device_driver’ has no
member named ‘kobj’
drivers/net/ehea/ehea_main.c: In function ‘ehea_driver_sysfs_remove’:
drivers/net/ehea/ehea_main.c:2830: error: ‘struct device_driver’ has no
member named ‘kobj’
make[3]: *** [drivers/net/ehea/ehea_main.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/ehea] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/net] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

The structure device_driver(in device.h) has a member struct driver_private which
contains the member kobj (according to drivers/base/base.h).
But in device.h struct driver_private has been declared localy and 
neither defined nor included from base.h.
So my effort to use driver->driver_private->obj also does not work.
(I am surprised from where do you access the struct device_driver)

Thanks and Regards
Sudhir Kumar
