Subject: linux-next: origin tree build warning

Hi all,

Today's linux-next build (x86_64_allmodconfig) produced these warnings:

drivers/base/memory.c:319: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
drivers/base/memory.c:353: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
drivers/base/memory.c:408: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
drivers/base/memory.c:409: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

Introduced by commit 8ff410daa009c4b44be445ded5b0cec00abc0426 ("sysdev:
fix prototype for memory_sysdev_class show/store functions").

The third parameter to SYSDEV_CLASS_ATTR should be a "ssize_t (*)(struct
sysdev_class *, char *)", but this commit changes them to "ssize_t (*)
(struct sysdev_class *, struct sysdev_class_attribute *, char *buf)".  Or
maybe the definition of "struct sysdev_class_attribute" is wrong?

It actually looks like commit c29af9636 ("sysdev: Pass attribute in
sysdev_class attributes show/store") referred to in the changelog for the
above commit has not yet been applied to Linus' tree?
