Hi Corey,
Thanks for eliminating most of those typedefs.
What is a handle, and why did you leave those?
I applied and built this on 2.5.41 (in-kernel and modular).
Only one compile warning:
## drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_kcs_sm.c:234: warning: implicit declaration of function 'memcpy'
Alan has reviewed this driver, right? (at least an earlier
version of it)
And you are asking for a major device number assignment?
I believe that this driver is in pretty good condition for
addition to the 2.5 kernel.
Specific comments below, each beginning with "##".
Warning to others: long-ish.
