Hi Sergej,

Does 2.6.24 no provide the kobject_init() function any more?

I don't understand, why this is necessary. If you take a closer look at
the macros, the pointers are internally typecasted, f. e.:

#define EC_WRITE_U32(DATA, VAL) \
    do { \
        *((uint32_t *) (DATA)) = (uint32_t) (VAL); \
        cpu_to_le32s(DATA); \
    } while (0)

Do you get warnings otherwise?

The references to cpu_khz and get_cycles() will disappear in version
1.4.0.
