Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree

Hi Greg,

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

drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c: In function 'pci_create_legacy_files':
drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c:645: error: lvalue required as unary '&' operand
drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c:658: error: lvalue required as unary '&' operand

Caused by commit 8e36e9ee3c5a9228b68717b35101c58fe9a001c5 ("sysfs: Use
sysfs_attr_init and sysfs_bin_attr_init on dynamic attributes")
interacting with commit 71f496c9ec9821d2e09b00298915b99b6cbc9d92 ("sysfs:
Use one lockdep class per sysfs attribute") both from the driver-core
tree.

I applied the following patch for today.

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@...b.auug.org.au>

Subject: [PATCH] sysfs: fix for thinko with sysfs_bin_attr_init()
