So you may want to try a > different merge fix. Right. So in wireless-testing I did the includes in the other order (i.e. "deb_defs.h" first), but that is a bit ugly. Any suggestions on alternatives? "#undef pr_fmt" just before the "#define pr_fmt(fmt)..." line in db_defs.h seems to eliminate the warning even with the more normal ordering of the #include lines. I'm not familiar with the usage of pr_fmt -- will doing the above preserve the desired effect? John -- John W.
