Hi,

Maybe you already have this planned or patched, but it wasn't
in the "cosmetic" patch file.

In s2io.c, please convert this struct to C99 syntax:
static struct pci_driver s2io_driver = {
       name:"S2IO",
       id_table:s2io_tbl,
       probe:s2io_init_nic,
       remove:__devexit_p(s2io_rem_nic),
};

so that sparse won't complain like so:
drivers/net/s2io.c:238:7: warning: obsolete struct initializer, use 
C99 syntax
drivers/net/s2io.c:239:7: warning: obsolete struct initializer, use 
C99 syntax
drivers/net/s2io.c:240:7: warning: obsolete struct initializer, use 
C99 syntax
drivers/net/s2io.c:241:7: warning: obsolete struct initializer, use 
C99 syntax

and if you haven't tried sparse on the driver, that would be a
good idea.
