Error compiling ieee1394/pcilynx.c (2.5.54)

[Tariq Shureih]

As part of my work on the Kernel-Janitor project, I am looking at the
use of panic() in driver (char for now).

The pcilynx.c driver will not compile giving the following error.
I enabled I2C bit-bangin options as required by the driver.

Seems that the driver requires porting to 2.5.x since the i2c structures
and implementation has changed in 2.5.x.

Anyone working on this?  I can't proceed with my work not having this
compile.

Thanx
