faketty-0.04 w/ fedora rawhide 2.4.16

[Frederick W. K. <fko...@co...>]

Hi,

  Was testing compiling faketty-0.04 with fedora development kernel
(from kernel-2.6.14-1.1657_FC5.src.rpm) and found some problems with
class_device_create calls.  Attached is a small diff w/ the lines I
changed to produce a module that appears to work.  Apologies if this is
not formated in a standard way, etc.

That is not Linus tree issue, but -git , fedora specific kernel patch,=20
related. Look into /usr/src/linux/include/linux/device.h
