Compile faults in shipped linux-media.tar.bz2

[Borim7]

During the complation of the drivers the linux-media.tar.bz2 is downloaded from this repository, the currently shipped version trigger compile errors in following files:

• ./linux/drivers/media/tuners/mxl603.c
• ./linux/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/si2183.c
• ./linux/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/mtv23x.c
• ./linux/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/gx1503.c
• ./linux/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/m88rs6060.c

The problem is always the same: The function signature of the remove function used for initialization of the struct i2c_driver does not match the struct i2c_driver type.

For example in mxl603.c the function is static void mxl603_remove(struct i2c_client *client), but the struct need a remove function returning an int. Change the function to static int mxl603_remove(struct i2c_client *client) and return always 0, fix this problem.

Can you please update the linux-media.tar.bz2?

Before compilation media_build scripts apply backport patches for older kernels For your certain case applied backports/v6.0_i2c_remove_tbs.patch for kernels < 6.1

Thanks for the hint, with this patch it worked.

In the end I switched from master to extra branch, as the patch is only available on extra.
