Bug#278043: macintosh: cannot compile because of syntax error

[LT-P <LT-P@LT-P.net>]

Package: kernel-source-2.4.26
Version: 2.4.26-6
Severity: normal

While compiling the kernel with a correct config file from kernel 2.4.25:
___

make[4]: Entering directory
`/surplus/system/src/kernel-source-2.4.26/drivers/macintosh'

If we look at the source (/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.26/drivers/macintosh/nvram.c), we can see that:
___

	37 static ssize_t read_nvram(struct file *file, char *buf,
	38            size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
	39 {
	40    loff_t n = *ppos
	41    unsigned int i = n;
	42    char *p = buf;
	43 
___

So I added a semicolon at the end of line 40, and the compiler accepted it.
Happy patching :)
