Hi all,

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

drivers/net/ethernet/toshiba/ps3_gelic_net.c: In function 'gelic_net_setup_netdev':
drivers/net/ethernet/toshiba/ps3_gelic_net.c:1480:26: error: passing argument 2 of 'eth_hw_addr_set' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
1480 | eth_hw_addr_set(netdev, &v1);
| ^~~
| |
| u64 * {aka long long unsigned int *}
In file included from drivers/net/ethernet/toshiba/ps3_gelic_net.c:23:
include/linux/etherdevice.h:309:70: note: expected 'const u8 *' {aka 'const unsigned char *'} but argument is of type 'u64 *' {aka 'long long unsigned int *'}
309 | static inline void eth_hw_addr_set(struct net_device *dev, const u8 *addr)
