The reason why I didn't send you the git commit id is that I could't
find this file in the latest linus'tree. :(
So do you know how to find a git log for a missing file?
But I just had another try and found another file
drivers/tty/cyclades.c. So this file is moved by you in commit a6afd9f
to the new place. ;)
I just checked the log before your move, and found this commit, a357e77,
which seems to resolve the the warning. But the commit log also shows
that the situation can't happen actually. So maybe the patch isn't
needed for stable tree. anyway, hope it helps for you.

Tao
