 Re: linux-next: Tree for September 7 (scsi/qla2x))

Randy Dunlap noted:

  when CONFIG_MODULES=n:

	drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_os.c:2685: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

  in
	kobject_uevent_env(&(&vha->hw->pdev->driver->driver)->owner->mkobj.kobj,
		KOBJ_CHANGE, envp);

Ok, So any strong objections to just having the functionality present
when module support is enabled?
