Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] char: misc: add missing #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS

From: Zhang Jiao <zhangjiao2@...s.chinamobile.com>

Since misc_seq_ops is defined under CONFIG_PROC_FS in this file,
it also need under CONFIG_PROC_FS when use. 

>Again, why is a #ifdef ok in this .c file?  What changed to suddenly
>require this?
There is another #ifdef in this file, in there "misc_seq_ops" is defined.
If CONFIG_PROC_FS is not defined, proc_create_seq is using an 
undefined variable "misc_seq_ops", this may cause compile error.
