Subject: Re: [PATCH] staging: easycap needs  smp_lock.h, fixes build
 error

HELLO

I dont believe this ... my 2.6.37-rc4 compilation gone bad 
again, because of the same error, and I have to recompile 
/ re-package it, what needs some hours again ..  :(  :(

  The correction below worked on 2.6.37-rc3 (i.e. insert 
#include <linux/smp_lock.h>  into easycap_main.h)


WHY THIS WASN'T PATCHED SINCE LONG TIME ?   Is the 
situation of the kernel developers similar bad like of the 
open office developers, so that they should be exchanged 
???
