I don't think this code has been subjected to the compiler.  Note that you
can't comiple a .h file directly; you have to find some other file that
includes it.  It may be useful to run make path/to/cfile.i (for some
cfile.c) to see if the specific code you changed it included in the
configuration or is discarded by the preprocessor.

In any case, you have put () in the argument list of a macro, for reg,
which is not correct.  The parentheses for chip are ok.

Here you have broken the argument list of the macro completely, because
the parentheses are not balanced.

I also wonder if someone has worked on this code already?  There was
a suggestion to just drop these macros and use the standard kernel
functions.  Maybe your kernel tree is not up to date.
