Subject: Confusion in usr/include/linux/videodev.h
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 07:10:38 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1232502038.3123.61.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

usr/include/linux/videodev.h is giving 2 warnings in 'make headers_check':
 usr/include/linux/videodev.h:19: leaks CONFIG_VIDEO to userspace where it is not valid
 usr/include/linux/videodev.h:314: leaks CONFIG_VIDEO to userspace where it is not valid

Whole file is covered with #if defined(CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT) || !defined (__KERNEL__)

It means this file is only valid for kernel mode if CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT is defined but in user mode it is always valid.
		
Can we choose some better alternative Or can we use this file as:

#ifdef CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT
#include <linux/videodev.h>
#endif


Thanks
