The complete gcc error output would be helpful.

What kernel are you using? A quick check of 3.9-rc1 shows that "struct 
sdio_func" is defined in include/linux/mmc/sdio_func.h, which is included from 
both drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/init.c and 
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c. The symbol "mmc_pm_flag_t" is defined in 
include/linux/mmc/pm.h, which is included in include/linux/mmc/sdio_func.h. It 
seems unlikely that either "extern" or "int" is undefined, thus the error is 
hard to understand.
