Hmm. Doing my once-a-release "try to compile everything in staging after pulling from greg by using allyesconfig and also forcing all staging", I get this:
drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmsmac/built-in.o:(.data+0xba0): multiple definition of `wl_msg_level' drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmfmac/built-in.o:(.data+0x1a94): first defined here
which looks like another case of "can't compile two things both into the kernel".
Looks like the BRCMSMAC / BRCMFMAC drivers need to be mutually exclusive. Something like
depends on m || (BRCMSMAC != y)
for BRCMFMAC?
Or they should just avoid using the same globally visible name.
I dunno.
