hm,

		memcpy(buf, (u8 *)&sl->reg_num, count);

and

struct w1_reg_num
{
#if defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN_BITFIELD)
	__u64	family:8,
		id:48,
		crc:8;
#elif defined(__BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD)
	__u64	crc:8,
		id:48,
		family:8;
#else
#error "Please fix <asm/byteorder.h>"
#endif
};

the compiler is being a bit pedantic there, IMO.  What version of gcc are
you using?

Does this help?
