From: "Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)" <arnout@mind.be>

neard uses the linux/nfc.h header which is fairly recent, so we have a
patch that creates linux-nfc.h and uses it if necessary. However, since
the bump to 0.9, neard uses some symbols that are introduced in linux 3.7
so the build fails with headers 3.1 (which introduced nfc.h) to 3.6.

To resolve that, add a check for one of the newly introduced symbols
(that is used by neard).

v2: Forgot to include <sys/socket.h>.

Probably wanted for 2013.02.

I selected the symbol to check for with 'git log -p v3.7 include/linux/nfc.h'
in the kernel.

Committed, thanks. Don't forget to send upstream.

  Thomas, did you ever send the original patch upstream?

Dear Arnout Vandecappelle,

No, I did not. Since the patch carries an entire copy of the kernel
header, I am fairly sure that upstream will not be very interested.

Best regards,

Thomas

  In that case I won't upstream my patch either :-)
