Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (wireless
 tree related)

Hi all,

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

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/built-in.o:(.bss+0x13dc): multiple definition of `modparam_nohwcrypt'
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/built-in.o:(.bss+0x844c): first defined here

Caused by commit cd2c5486526b744fb505e18c9d981b35feaf283a ("ath5k: Move
mac80211 functions into new file").  This is what you get for using
unqualified global names ...

I reverted that commit for today.  The references in ath9k should
probably be qualified as well.
