5 headers_install: fix __packed in exported kernel headers
7 checkpatch.pl warns about using __attribute__((packed)) in kernel
8 headers: "__packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))". If one
9 follows that advice it could cause problems in the exported header
10 files, because the outside world doesn't know about this shortcut.
12 For example busybox will fail to compile:
13 CC miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.o
14 In file included from miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.c:27:0:
15 /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:330:3: error: conflicting types for ‘__packed’
16 /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:314:3: note: previous declaration of ‘__packed’ was here
19 Fix the problem by substituting __packed with __attribute__((packed)) in
20 the header_install.pl script.
