this usually means that "cdev_t" isn't known.  However inode.h is being included, they also need to include the file which defines cdev_t.

yes, it would be flagged, but it is defined, about 6 times:  typedef works the opposite way than #define:

typedef orig_type new_type;

#define NEW_MACRO old_stuff
