Problems with Data Types, Medium Severity (2)

	Change	Effect
1	Field link_priority has been added at the middle position of this structural type.	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Layout of structure fields has been changed and therefore fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be incorrectly accessed by applications.

Problems with Symbols, Medium Severity (2)

	Change	Effect
1	Parameter udev of type struct udevice* has been added to the calling stack.	This parameter will not be initialized by old clients.

	Change	Effect
1	2nd parameter udev_old has been removed from the calling stack.	This parameter will be ignored by the function.

Problems with Data Types, Low Severity (2)

	Change	Effect
1	Size of this type has been changed from 3036 bytes to 3040 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

Problems with Constants, Low Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
