Hi,

I use the following code to get mtd device pointer:
     mtd = get_mtd_device(NULL, MTD_MINOR);
The compiler always complains that parse error before ;
/* MTD_MINOR is a defined macro. */

But when I call get_mtd_device() in this way, no complain at all.
     int mtd_minor = MTD_MINOR;
     mtd = get_mtd_device(NULL, mtd_minor);

Why does this error happen? Anybody encountered such errors before?

Thanks.

- Shawn.
