Subject[PATCH] staging: easycap: fix build failure
This fixes:

drivers/staging/easycap/easycap_main.c:4251:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'lock_kernel'
drivers/staging/easycap/easycap_main.c:4254:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'unlock_kernel'

We need to include smp_lock.h in order to have BKL primitives (the driver
already correctly depends on BKL).

Now, I really believe that this driver is completely hopeless and the only
option is complete from-scratch rewrite. I have been looking into it for
approximately ~30 seconds (solely to fix this build failure), and I really
don't know what to say.

- what kind of super-crazy indentation does it have? Seems like it lost
first level of indentation somewhere. Completely unreadable.
- understanding what field2frame() does is probably completely hopeless
effort
- copying textual representation of errno into some buffer (just grep of
errbuf) is crazy. Fortunately, the strings are copied there and never
used ... :P
- all the SAY(), JOT() macros ... what's the point?
- easysnd_testtone() seems to implement it's own kind of
endianity-sensitive memcpy(). Why does the for(...) cycle depend on
PAGE_SIZE? How much memory will it corrupt on architectures with
larger page size than what the author had in mind?

... and then I stopped reading.
