Um... I do not like this change; the resulting code is harder to read.

Can you please change the struct declaration isntead, like this:

diff --git a/arch/i386/include/asm/global_data.h b/arch/i386/include/asm/global_data.h
index e3f8a25..e9000c3 100644
--- a/arch/i386/include/asm/global_data.h
+++ b/arch/i386/include/asm/global_data.h
@@ -35,7 +35,7 @@
 
 #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__
 
-typedef	struct {
+typedef	struct global_data {
 	bd_t		*bd;
 	unsigned long	flags;
 	unsigned long	baudrate;

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
