Re: 2.3.40 + offb.c problem

Compilation goes along happily until I get to the video driver

offb.c: In function `offb_init_driver':

offb.c: At top level:
offb.c:479: parse error before `return'

which is the code section:

#ifdef CONFIG_FB_CLGEN
    if ((!strncmp(dp->name, "MacPicasso",10) ||
        (!strncmp(dp->name, "54m30",5)) {
       clgen_of_init(dp);
       return 1;
    }
#endif /* CONFIG_FB_CLGEN */

This is with the Open Firmware framebuffer option checked in the kernel
configuration.

I'm more than a little green when it comes to kernel hacking but there
doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that code snippet.  I thought at
first some of the changes I had made to incorporate the other cirrus54m30
driver were goofing things up so I grabbed a pristine source of 2.3.40 and
am still having the same problems.

Count the braces and you'll notice two `)'s are missing.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
