SubjectRe: linux-next: build failure after merge of the staging tree
Hello Greg,

I was just about to submit a patch fixing this issue. Should arrive in a
few minutes. Sorry.

Will this be the follow-on patch you mentioned for fixing the "sparse
errors" this driver produced? I'm wasn't sure what you meant with that.

Oddly enough, I failed to repeat the compilation issue with allmodconfig
on x86_64, but it did appear on allyesconfig. The problem is obvious,
and it's strange my own test compilations went through even so.

Regards,
Eli
