I applied the following chunk:

@@ -367,7 +367,7 @@ static umode_t lm3533_attr_is_visible(struct kobject *kobj,
        struct device_attribute *dattr = to_dev_attr(attr);
        struct lm3533_device_attribute *lattr = to_lm3533_dev_attr(dattr);
        enum lm3533_attribute_type type = lattr->type;
-       mode_t mode = attr->mode;
+       umode_t mode = attr->mode;

Cheers,
Samuel.
