RFH: Converting a driver from semaphore to mutex in 2.6.21

[Martijn Uffing <mp3project@sarijopen.student.utwente.nl>]

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:

 	return data;
 }


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
make: *** [drivers/i2c/chips/bt869.ko] Error 2


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
