Hi Takashi,

I've applied patches #1 and #2 and for some reason get this when I try
to build the kernel:

  LD      vmlinux.o
  MODPOST vmlinux.o
sound/usb/bcd2000/bcd2000.o: In function `bcd2000_init_midi':
.../sound/usb/bcd2000/bcd2000.c:346: undefined reference to
`usb_urb_ep_type_check'
.../sound/usb/bcd2000/bcd2000.c:347: undefined reference to
`usb_urb_ep_type_check'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

What could be wrong?

Thanks!
