Subject: [PATCH] init/calibrate.c compile error (MMOTM-2007-11-10-19-05)

I'm using -mm (MMOTM-2007-11-10-19-05) and getting

$ make
CC init/calibrate.o
In file included from include/linux/jiffies.h:8,
from init/calibrate.c:7:
include/linux/timex.h:246: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'read_current_timer'
init/calibrate.c: In function 'calibrate_delay_direct':
init/calibrate.c:41: error: implicit declaration of function 'read_current_timer'
make[1]: *** [init/calibrate.o] Error 1
make: *** [init] Error 2

That's because the definition of __devinit isn't known at that point. The
following small patch appears to fix the compilation error. Someone should
verify that it's the proper fix.

Cheers,
Erez.
