spin_unlock_irqrestore parse error

[Bill]

In my device driver module, when I call spin_unlock_irqrestore(&lock,
flags) after previously calling spin_lock_irqsave(&lock, flags), I get
the following error:

error: parse error before '-' token


I am running Linux 2.6.10 on an MPC8248 processor.

Try to run a simple:

linux-2.6.10 $ make clean
linux-2.6.10 $ make drivers/<path/to/your/driver>/<your-drivername>.i

This will run the preprocessor only on your source. Now you should be able
to find the reason. As you are crosscompiling, don't forget the ARCH= and
CROSS_COMPILE=.
