This doesn't look like a rename...

That corrects the type to what the member (and prototype for ocxl_link_update_pe) declare it as.

The struct link there is bogus, it shouldn't even compile (since the intended struct link is defined in a different compilation unit), but instead picks up a different definition of 'struct link' from elsewhere.


Given there's only a handful of struct links defined across the entire kernel, I'm going to guess that the definition it's picking up is in fact the ocxl one.

I think the better solution here is to move struct ocxl_link into ocxl_internal.h, change ocxl_fn::link to be struct ocxl_link * rather than void *, and update the function signature for ocxl_link_update_pe() as well.
