[PATCH] 2.4.17 compile error + fix

Compiling 2.4.17 on a Debian woody machine generates errors:

ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext

The same kernel tree builds fine under Debian potato & RH 7.x.

This patch seems to fix it (also attached in case my email client screws
up it up):

diff -urN linux/drivers/usb/usb-uhci.c

        if(uhci_start_usb (s) < 0) {
- uhci_pci_remove(dev);
+ __devexit_p (uhci_pci_remove(dev));
                return -1;
        }

The resulting kernel boots fine on a PII; there are no problems with
hot-plugging USB devices.

Marcelo, please consider for 2.4.18.
