Ralf,

Please revert this and send it to Linus (or else, I can send it myself).
This is causing build failures, because I didn't take the rest of
Simon's series yet.

drivers/mtd/bcm63xxpart.c: In function 'bcm63xx_parse_cfe_partitions':
drivers/mtd/bcm63xxpart.c:93:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'bcm63xx_nvram_get_psi_size' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

I will reply to the series if/when I accept any patches from it. I would
appreciate it if you would do the same.

Also...did this ever make it to linux-next? I'd think somebody's build
bots would have complained about the build failure.

Regards,
Brian
