The function debugfs_create_devm_seqfile() has a parameter of type struct device pointer. This type needs to be forward declared to avoid compilation issues on certain architectures and/or kernel configurations. The function was introduced with: commit 98210b7 Author: Arend van Spriel <arend@broadcom.com> Date: Sun Nov 9 11:31:58 2014 +0100 debugfs: add helper function to create device related seq_file The reported build failure for sparc64 architecture was: make.cross ARCH=sparc64 All warnings: In file included from fs/debugfs/file.c:21:0: include/linux/debugfs.h:105:10: warning: 'struct device' declared inside parameter list void *data)); ^ Reported-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Arend van Spriel <arend@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
