Hi all,

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

In file included from net/ethtool/netlink.c:6:
net/ethtool/netlink.h:177:20: error: redefinition of 'ethnl_update_bool'
177 | static inline void ethnl_update_bool(bool *dst, const struct nlattr *attr,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
net/ethtool/netlink.h:125:20: note: previous definition of 'ethnl_update_bool' with type 'void(bool *, const struct nlattr *, bool *)' {aka 'void(_Bool *, const struct nlattr *, _Bool *)'}
125 | static inline void ethnl_update_bool(bool *dst, const struct nlattr *attr,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Caused by commit

dc0b98a1758f ("ethtool: Add and use ethnl_update_bool.")

merging badly with commit

7c494a7749a7 ("net: ethtool: netlink: introduce ethnl_update_bool()")

from the net tree.

I applied the following merge fix up.

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2023 09:58:16 +1100
Subject: [PATCH] fix up for "ethtool: Add and use ethnl_update_bool."

interacting with "net: ethtool: netlink: introduce ethnl_update_bool()"
