linux-next: build failure after merge of the net-next tree

Hi all,

After merging the net-next tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ehea/ehea_main.c: In function 'ehea_setup_single_port':

Caused by commit

  a96d317fb1a3 ("ethernet: use eth_hw_addr_set()")

I have used the net-next tree from next-20211001 for today.

[PATCH net-next] ethernet: ehea: add missing cast

[Jakub Kicinski]

We need to cast the pointer, unlike memcpy() eth_hw_addr_set()
does not take void *. The driver already casts &port->mac_addr
to u8 * in other places.

I also had to use the next-20211001 version if the bpf-next tree (since
it had been reset past the broken commit in the net-next tree).
