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

Hi Greg,

After merging the staging tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_ieee80211.c: In function 'rtw_macaddr_cfg':
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_ieee80211.c:1193:22: error: implicit declaration of function 'of_get_property' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
              (addr = of_get_property(np, "local-mac-address", &len)) &&
                      ^
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_ieee80211.c:1193:20: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
              (addr = of_get_property(np, "local-mac-address", &len)) &&
                    ^

Caused by commit

  554c0a3abf21 ("staging: Add rtl8723bs sdio wifi driver")

I have used the staging tree from next-20170407 for today.
