I was able to fix the in_irq<\/strong> error, by adding the define<\/em> from \/include\/linux\/preempt.h<\/strong> to the nv_time.h<\/strong> code, but was unable to fix the rest..
\nObviously, there will be more changes to come before 6.19-rc is released, so there may be more errors to come..<\/p>\n
