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

Hi all,

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

drivers/net/wireless/quantenna/qtnfmac/core.c: In function 'qtnf_core_net_attach':
drivers/net/wireless/quantenna/qtnfmac/core.c:319:5: error: 'struct net_device' has no member named 'destructor'
  dev->destructor = free_netdev;
     ^

Caused by commit

  98f44cb0655c ("qtnfmac: introduce new FullMAC driver for Quantenna chipsets")

interacting with commit

  cf124db566e6 ("net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.")

from the net tree.

I applied this merge fix patch for today.
