linux-next: driver-core.current tree build failure

Hi Greg,

Today's linux-next build (powerpc allnoconfig) failed like this:

arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.o: In function `debugfs_create_size_t':
prom.c:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `debugfs_create_size_t'
arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.o:irq.c:(.text+0x0): first defined here
arch/powerpc/kernel/setup-common.o: In function `debugfs_create_size_t':
setup-common.c:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `debugfs_create_size_t'
arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.o:irq.c:(.text+0x0): first defined here

Caused by commit c00d80adc67c69d0762390ba513913a44bdebb36 ("debugfs:
introduce stub for debugfs_create_size_t() when DEBUG_FS=n") which added
a stub function to a header file but didn't declare it "static inline".

This has been submitted to Linus stating that it has been in at least one
linux-next tree.  It has *not* been in linux-next until today (you do
neither of us a favour by claiming otherwise) and I am reverting it from
there.

My apologies, I thought it had been in one linux-next by virtue of when
I had checked it into my tree.

I'll go fix this up and kick Inaky the next time I see him for sending
me a untested patch :)

thanks,
