That is one of the problems you will be facing again and again with
out-of-tree ports.  As we don't even know your code, we could not even
help you if we wanted to.

If you still have such definitions in your code you are still so far
away from current top of tree that any comments are in vain as more
changes are still to be applied.


Maintaining out-of-tree ports _is_ a continuing pain.  Don't do that.
Push your changes upstream in time, i. e. when they are current.

Best regards,
