Yeah, including the relative path was a bit of a hack since the nvhost drivers needs some serious work before it's upstreamable. A "right" way to do this is to have the syncpt functions take an nvhost_device pointer (or create helper functions that do that,) then expose those functions in mach/nvhost.h. This obviates the need for a global nvhost_sycpt pointer.

I assumed that the header files in drivers/video/tegra/host were not meant to be publicly available to other drivers, which is why I looked for some precedent in how nvhost functions were made available to other kernel drivers, hence I modeled this after nvmap. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
