Try to run a simple:

linux-2.6.10 $ make clean
linux-2.6.10 $ make drivers/<path/to/your/driver>/<your-drivername>.i

This will run the preprocessor only on your source. Now you should be able
to find the reason. As you are crosscompiling, don't forget the ARCH= and
CROSS_COMPILE=.

I found the error. A while back, "asm" had been #defined to "asm-ppc"
in the driver.
