Subject: Build breakage on powerpc with 2.6.24-rc6-mm1

Hi,

I see the following error with the iseries_veth driver in 2.6.24-rc6-mm1

drivers/net/iseries_veth.c: In function ‘veth_init_connection’:
drivers/net/iseries_veth.c:818: warning: unused variable ‘rc’
drivers/net/iseries_veth.c: In function ‘veth_probe_one’:
drivers/net/iseries_veth.c:1086: error: ‘veth_port_ktypeq’ undeclared
(first use in this function)
drivers/net/iseries_veth.c:1086: error: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once
drivers/net/iseries_veth.c:1086: error: for each function it appears
in.)
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/iseries_veth.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/net] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

Here's a patch, compile tested to fix the compilation problem


Remove unused variable rc and fix a typo, veth_port_type was called
veth_port_typeq
