Using gcc 4.4.7, the compilation failed on these lines (since that compiler does not support anonymous unions):

  CC [M]  net/sched/sch_mqprio.o
net/sched/sch_mqprio.c: In function ?mqprio_init?:
net/sched/sch_mqprio.c:145: error: unknown field ?tc? specified in initializer
net/sched/sch_mqprio.c:145: warning: missing braces around initializer
net/sched/sch_mqprio.c:145: warning: (near initialization for ?tc.<anonymous>?)
make[2]: *** [net/sched/sch_mqprio.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [net/sched] Error 2
make: *** [net] Error 2

It can be fixed by surrounding it with braces; something like:

diff --git a/net/sched/sch_mqprio.c b/net/sched/sch_mqprio.c
index f9947d1..9b844f7 100644

        if (qopt->hw) {
                struct tc_to_netdev tc = {.type = TC_SETUP_MQPRIO,
-                                         .tc = qopt->num_tc};
+                                        {.tc = qopt->num_tc}};

                priv->hw_owned = 1;
                err = dev->netdev_ops->ndo_setup_tc(dev, sch->handle, 0, &tc);

Would you please fix it ?
