And also, it breaks the build:
	drivers/staging/batman-adv/vis.c: In function ‘vis_data_read_entry’:
	drivers/staging/batman-adv/vis.c:170:38: error: ‘to’ undeclared (first use in this function)
	drivers/staging/batman-adv/vis.c:170:38: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

Please always test your patches :(

I've dropped this one.

thanks,
