You can, but you have to follow the rules (see chapters 11-13 in the [1]).

There are two ways (depends on the amount of work you have done):
- leave him as an original author (so Author field will have his name,
not yours) and apply yours with Co-developed-by tag and SoB since you
are co-developed and committed
- other way around

Ah, for that yes, you need a header.

Like
struct regmap;
which effectively tells the compiler that "hey, this type is defined
somewhere else".
