This compile error (as well as the other two compile errors you 
reported) comes from the fact, that you disabled the option

  Code maturity level options
    Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers
      Select only drivers expected to compile cleanly


It's known that some drivers do not compile and marked in the Kconfig 
files. But if you choose to try to compile them anyway, they don't 
compile.

It's marked as BROKEN, and if you choose the option to enable broken 
drivers, you are offered to compile broken drivers.

If this is the only problem in this driver, the fix wasn't too hard.
But considering how long this problem is unfixed, the driver doesn't 
seem to be in a good shape...

The problem that I have with this, isn't that the driver is broken (it works
under 2.4), It isn't labeled as broken in the menuconfig, if you choose the
option to include the dubious drivers. Unfortunately, I do need this
particular driver and hope someone steps up to the plate to take care of it.
