Hi John,
After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc allyesconfig) failed like this:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/built-in.o: In function `htc_start': (.opd+0x600): multiple definition of `htc_start' drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/built-in.o:(.opd+0x3e40): first defined here drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/built-in.o: In function `.htc_stop': (.text+0x7b40): multiple definition of `.htc_stop' drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/built-in.o:(.text+0x67b34): first defined here drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/built-in.o: In function `.htc_start': (.text+0x7d18): multiple definition of `.htc_start' drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/built-in.o:(.text+0x67ba0): first defined here drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/built-in.o: In function `htc_stop': (.opd+0x5e8): multiple definition of `htc_stop' drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/built-in.o:(.opd+0x3e28): first defined here
Probably caused by commit bdcd81707973 ("Add ath6kl cleaned up driver").
I have reverted commit 392e741939dd ("Merge branch 'ath6kl-next' of master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath6kl") for today.
John, this has happened a couple of times before where people have just copied an existing driver that happens to have some badly named global variables. :-( -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
