If you're adding a member to a struct that's defined in a public header

This is a struct that's only ever instantiated by a driver module.
I don't see a scenario where something could legitimately break on it.
If it's only ever going to be instantiated by a driver module why are
you putting the definition in a public header file?
Anyway, as I said, a placeholder now fixes that.
Sure, that's one way around the problem, or you could move it out of the
public header entirely via a variety of mechanisms.
