Hi,

I am studying SPI device driver using my RPi4.
I added a member variable in struct spi_device in spi.h to see
if the variable I added in .dts (Device Tree) comes in spi.c as intended:
***********************************************
struct spi_device {
struct device dev;
struct spi_controller *controller;
struct spi_controller *master;
u32 max_speed_hz;
u32 debug_sheld; // ---------> for testing

...
}
***********************************************

Then I compiled the kernel to see what happens in spi.c and spidev.c like this,
rebooted my RPi4, and tried to load spidev.ko module.
But, this error happens:
***********************************************

pi@raspberrypi:~/git_repository/Kernel/linux-5.4.59/drivers/spi $ sudo insmod spidev.ko
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module spidev.ko: Invalid parameters

***********************************************

I checked kernel log using dmesg :

***********************************************

There hasn't been any problem when I change something in spi.c or spidev.c,
but I don't know why it happens with a modification to struct spi_device.

Can somebody help me to solve this, please?

Thanks.
