3d7af878357acd9e37f builds ok. However I am using 20181010-next (I'm not 
sure what yours is based on), and I just noticed that it includes this 
new guy:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/Makefile?h=next-20181011&id=bc5701d8e27fd8beaf895176982fc6a97878f3b8

When I cherry-pick this onto your codebase@...af878357acd9e37f, the 
82011 code has warns.

Thanks,
John
