Hi Vinod,

After merging the slave-dma tree, today's linux-next build (arm
multi_v7_defconfig) produced this warning:

In file included from drivers/dma/xilinx/xilinx_vdma.c:26:0:
include/linux/dmapool.h:18:4: warning: 'struct device' declared inside parameter list
size_t size, size_t align, size_t allocation);
^
include/linux/dmapool.h:18:4: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
include/linux/dmapool.h:31:7: warning: 'struct device' declared inside parameter list
size_t size, size_t align, size_t allocation);
^
drivers/dma/xilinx/xilinx_vdma.c: In function 'xilinx_vdma_alloc_chan_resources':
drivers/dma/xilinx/xilinx_vdma.c:501:20: warning: passing argument 2 of 'dma_pool_create' from incompatible pointer type
chan->desc_pool = dma_pool_create("xilinx_vdma_desc_pool",
^
In file included from drivers/dma/xilinx/xilinx_vdma.c:26:0:
include/linux/dmapool.h:17:18: note: expected 'struct device *' but argument is of type 'struct device *'
struct dma_pool *dma_pool_create(const char *name, struct device *dev,
^

Presumable caused by the include order change in commit 937abe88aea3
("dmaengine: xilinx-dma: move header file to common location").

I guess that dmapool.h needs a "struct device;" line near the top.
