i got this build error from the latest net-next-2.6:

net/phonet/pn_dev.c: In function ‘phonet_init_net’:
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:221: error: implicit declaration of function
‘proc_net_fops_create’
net/phonet/pn_dev.c: In function ‘phonet_exit_net’:
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:242: error: implicit declaration of function
‘proc_net_remove’
Oops. This makes me wonder why I did not get that one here on my test
builds???
I also have this warning :

net/phonet/pn_dev.c: In function `phonet_device_get':
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:99: warning: 'dev' might be used uninitialized in this
function
Right. This is indeed a bug - thanks. Either my gcc version is bad at that 
stuff or I have missing debug options :(
What about following patch ?

[PATCH] phonet: phonet_device_get() fix

net/phonet/pn_dev.c: In function `phonet_device_get':
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:99: warning: 'dev' might be used uninitialized in this
function
