Subject: error while installing staging kernel GKH

Hi,
I was following the tutorial on how to build your first patch and came
across this error when running
sudo make modules_install install
INSTALL sound/firewire/fireworks/snd-fireworks.ko
DEPMOD 3.18.0-rc4-01142-gcc03f9b

this is the staging tree GKH.

CFG80211 API is prefered for this kernel version

the question is should I report a bug on a staging driver?
and how this could be fixed? did the alloc_netdev function changed?
this kernel was compiled with make allyesconfig
Thanks,
PD: I am a Kernel newbie trying to commit my first patch...
Sorry if this is not the right mailing list
