Ave lkml folks.
I'm trying to convert the out of tree bt869 driver in 2.6.21 from using a
semaphore to using a mutex. I followed the guidelines at
http://lwn.net/Articles/164802/ and used
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/13/127 aa an example.
The original driver source can be found at
http://sarijopen/~caligula/kernel/patches/bt869-2.6.21.patch
---------------
At first I only changed "struct semaphore update_lock" into "struct
mutex_debug update_lock;"
However gcc gave me a
drivers/i2c/chips/bt869.c:63: error: field `update_lock' has incomplete type
make[1]: *** [drivers/i2c/chips/bt869.o] Error 1
make: *** [drivers/i2c/chips/bt869.ko] Error 2
----------------
Then I did a full conversion:

}
Still gcc gives me a :
drivers/i2c/chips/bt869.c:63: error: field `update_lock' has incomplete
type
make[1]: *** [drivers/i2c/chips/bt869.o] Error 1

I must miss something really really obvious, but I really can't find it.
Can someone guide me to the Right Way (TM) to convert this semaphore?
Thanks
