Hi Greg,

What linux-next tag did you base the patch on?
I used next-20110510 and in that tag the file include/Linux/mfd/core.h
The struct mfd_cell has a parameter called platform_data, while in your
build it seems it doesn't.
This was changed very recently in the core.h file (on April 6).
So for core.h the last commit ID I have in the tag I built upon is
558aa9c0d620b91a896d5e39ce8a570bed65589b.

Thanks,
P-G
