Thanks.  However please do prepare patches in `patch -p1' form.

Could you please fix the build error in the code in 2.6.24-mm1?

I part-fixed it (then disabled it) with this:

--- a/drivers/memstick/core/mspro_block.c~a
+++ a/drivers/memstick/core/mspro_block.c
@@ -1233,11 +1232,12 @@ static int mspro_block_resume(struct mem

 	int rc = 0;
 
-#ifdef CONFIG_MEMSTICK_UNSAFE_RESUME
+#if defined(CONFIG_MEMSTICK_UNSAFE_RESUME) && 0
 
 	struct mspro_block_data *new_msb;
 	struct memstick_host *host = card->host;

+	struct mspro_sys_attr *s_attr;

 	mutex_lock(&host->lock);
_

see, this:

		s_attr = container_of(new_msb->attr_group.attrs[cnt],
				      struct mspro_sys_attr,
				      dev_attr);

is broken.  Attribute groups hold `struct attribute' but this code thinks
they hold `struct device_attribute'.  I could bodge it to compile cleanly,
but I don't know if it will work.
