Re: BUG: via_drmclient.h is referenced but does not exist

Hi!
The intention is for via_drm.h to be self-containing when included both
for a kernel build and for a user-space build. In this particular case,
via_drmclient.h lives in the user-space clients and includes stdint.h to
get access to uint32_t and friends.
Of course, the user-space clients could
#include "uint32.h"
#include "via_drm.h"
but shouldn't really the tools be mimicing what the compiler does in
this case?

Hi David et al.
After improving the headers_check.pl script to do a
check for files included with:
#include "foo.h"
it reported the following error:
/home/sam/kernel/knext.git/usr/include/drm/via_drm.h:34: included file '/home/sam/kernel/knext.git/usr/include/drm/via_drmclient.h' is not exported
And indeed the file via_drmclient.h does not exist in the kernel source.
We do not see any issue in the kernel as the include is guarded by:
#ifndef __KERNEL__
#include "via_drmclient.h"
#endif
But referring to a non-existing file is not the right thing to to.
We need this check as we have several places where we do:
#include "foo.h"
in our exported headers.
So we need to fix drm somehow.
The headers_check.pl patch is included for reference.
