Thanks for the hint! With patch previously sent
n770_defconfig should compile again.

However, still some warnings in omap-hw.c (unused
omap_nand_write_byte), retu-user.c, tahvo-user.c,
tahvo-usb.c (all my new friend "ignoring return value") and
sti-console.c ("value computed is not used").

It is already applied.

Is there any way to test self compiled kernel on N770
without breaking flashed SW/image? Anything like download to
RAM, e.g. used by uboots TFTP download on OSK?
