Okay. Still unclear. Following snip is what I see in my local staging-testing branch.

<snip>
	drv@debian:~/git/kernels/staging$ git grep dim_ch_state_t
	drivers/staging/most/dim2/dim2.c:       struct dim_ch_state_t st;
	drivers/staging/most/dim2/dim2.c:       struct dim_ch_state_t st;
	drivers/staging/most/dim2/hal.c:struct dim_ch_state_t *dim_get_channel_state(struct dim_channel *ch,
	drivers/staging/most/dim2/hal.c:                                             struct dim_ch_state_t *state_ptr)
	drivers/staging/most/dim2/hal.h:struct dim_ch_state_t {
	drivers/staging/most/dim2/hal.h:struct dim_ch_state_t *dim_get_channel_state(struct dim_channel *ch,
	drivers/staging/most/dim2/hal.h:                                             struct dim_ch_state_t *state_ptr);
	drv@debian:~/git/kernels/staging$
</snip>

Does that help?
