The driver uses u32 and relies on an implicit inclusion of
<linux/types.h>.

It is good practice to directly include all headers used, it avoids
implicit dependencies and spurious breakage if someone rearranges
headers and causes the implicit include to vanish.

Include the missing header.

Not sure if Fixes tag is needed here.

Is this really needed for the further patches in this series?

We have already talked about this. If a patch that causes the implicit
include to vanish is backported to stable, it will reveal the missing
header here and will result in backporting this patch as well. So, as a
good practice let's allow this patch to be queued to stable, it will
avoid possible compilation errors.

I guess Mark has to break the tie again. Or Greg if he cares, I added
him in To:.

Yes, because in patch 3/4 I use u8 and u16 and I don't want to use those
without having the header included. Do you find this wrong?

So worry about this then, not now.

"possible" does not mean "needed".

Please only tag stuff that you know is needed, if the stable developers
break things, they can fix it up when it happens.

Adding .h includes is not a fixes: thing unless it actually fixes
something in Linus's tree, otherwise it's an abuse of the tag.  Please
don't do that.

thanks,

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

I'd say if this header is really needed for your patch 3/4 to have a
successful build, just merge this patch into the patch 3/4 then.

The series was already resent, not worth a new version just for this...
