Easily fixed though but all the other warnings previously seen were fine
yet this module was compiled with warnings being treated as errors?
Had this reported already. The flag in the Makefile for this driver was introduced between v3.3 and v3.4-rc1, in earlier versions it was compiled without it. If you don't actually need it just remove the flag and it will compile just fine!
