Hi,

Interesting patch. I have reported this build error and looked
into fixing it, but did not come up with this solution.

Looking at it more: if CONFIG_PCI is not enabled, DEVICE_PCI() is NULL.
That makes VORTEX_PCI() (with or without your patch) have a value of NULL.

Is the line with the reported syntax error (3211) executed in
function acpi_set_WOL() ? If so, let's assume that vp->enable_wol is true.
Then what happens on line 3211 (or 3213 after your patch)?

if (VORTEX_PCI(vp)->current_state < PCI_D3hot)
return;

or if I am really confuzed this morning, please tell me how it works.

thanks,
