vme_scc.c breakage (was: Re: linux-next: Tree for November 21)

Hi Alan,

drivers/char/vme_scc.c no longer compiles in linux-next:
http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/56964/

I get a slightly different error message, though:

| drivers/char/vme_scc.c: In function 'scc_carrier_raised':
| drivers/char/vme_scc.c:634: error: expected identifier or '(' before 'volatile'
| drivers/char/vme_scc.c:634: error: expected ')' before '(' token
| drivers/char/vme_scc.c:634: error: expected statement before ')' token
| drivers/char/vme_scc.c:635: error: 'struct tty_port' has no member named 'channel'

The problem seems to be introduced by commit
e21405cbbaa859c68119b260c0fe43afdb86a385 ("tty-port-extract-cd"). The relevant
part is below:

| diff --git a/drivers/char/vme_scc.c b/drivers/char/vme_scc.c

Issues:
1. When Atari support is enabled, `scc' is defined in
include/asm-m68k/atari.h as:

# define scc ((*(volatile struct SCC*)SCC_BAS))

However, renaming the variable `scc' doesn't help, as

2. the variable `scc' is not used in scc_carrier_raised(),

3. `port->channel' on line 635 still fails as `port' is not longer `struct
scc_port', but a 'struct tty_port', which has no member named 'channel'.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

Geert
