Hm, I think this is my fault, sorry. The patch that this conflicts with was applied by me yesterday, and didn't make it into linux-next for the release that you are using. Sorry about that. You can wait for the next linux-next release tomorrow, or you can work off my staging-next branch of the staging.git tree on git.kernel.org (that branch ends up in linux-next.) So you were doing the right thing, we just got out of sync. greg k-h
