I'm afraid I will continue to bug you - it does not work. :(.

I applied your patch and I still couldn't get it to compile.
I thought that it may be caused by me using not the latest scsi-misc-2.6
git tree, so I downloaded the tree and retried. Alas, same result.

I followed your instructions:

See attached .config file with firmware build options enabled.

Since I want *_shipped files regenerated, they, obviously, should not
take part in the build, so I renamed tham all to *_shipped-OFF,
intending later to rediff them against newly-generated files.

Then I ran "make bzImage" (64-bit x86) and got this error:

This was on today's unmodified scsi-misc-2.6 git tree.

Please help.
