This was causing a build failure for openrisc when using musl and
gcc 5.4.0 since the file is not available in the toolchain.

It doesnt seem this is needed and removing it does not cause any build
warnings for me.

Applied.

Hmmm... stddef.h is part of the SuS v2.
Required to get definitions for NULL, offsetof(), ptrdiff_t and size_t.

So any system that is pretending to by unix-like ought to have one.

Hello,
I agree, and also I can see that musl and gcc both do provide it.  I am
not sure why its not getting included for kernel builds, I didnt look
into it much because on the other hand...

Linux also provides it in 'linux/stddef.h'.  In this case vchiq_shim.c
includes "vchiq_util.h".
  which includes "linux/string.h"
    which includes "linux/stddef.h"

So the requirement seems satisfied.

I am fine to send a patch to change the include to <linux/stddef.h> as I
mentioned in the cover letter.  But I dont think its really needed.
