Here are some issues you may run into when porting something from 3.4 to 3.10:
- __devexit is no longer used (or defined)
- background: __devexit was an attribute used on certain driver routines. It was removed between 3.4 and 3.10, and should no longer be used
- just remove the attribute from any functions it is used with
- __devinitdata is no longer used (or defined)
- background: __devinitdata was an attribute used on certain data declarations. It was removed between 3.4 and 3.10 and should not longer be used
- see this commit: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=54b956b903607
- just remove the attribute from any declarations is it used with
- sysdev.h is gone, along with all it declared:
- struct sys_device, struct sysdev_attribute
- arch/arm/include/asm/hardware/gic.h was moved to include/linux/irqchip/arm-gic.h
- change #include <asm/hardware/gic.h> to #include <linux/irqchip/arm-gic.h>
