linux-next: new warnings

Hi all,

Commit 7a5158ef8da70fdedeb0530faaa8128aa645be3c ("mac80211: fix short
slot handling") added this:

/* XXX: remove all this once drivers stop trying to use it */
static inline int __deprecated __IEEE80211_CONF_SHORT_SLOT_TIME(void)
	.
	.
#define IEEE80211_CONF_SHORT_SLOT_TIME (__IEEE80211_CONF_SHORT_SLOT_TIME())

to include/net/mac80211.h.  I was wondering if any thought was given to
getting rid of the (currently 4) in tree uses of
IEEE80211_CONF_SHORT_SLOT_TIME before doing this so that we don't have
even more new warnings from the kernel build.

The least that could be done is to clean them up now ...

John Linville told me that these warnings would show up because
of one of his merges and that he also has the patches pending
to get rid of them as well.

Please just ignore them for now.

Yes, sorry for the delay.  I've been down with pneumonia all week. :-(

That's OK, I just wanted to know that the fixes were in train.

Get better!
