Wierd, it builds for me in my branch that you pulled from.

I just tested it with my 'test merge' from earlier today to verify that
there were no merge issues, which was with your tree as of commit
0bbf211975addc2963b63a41a2eac99928365996 "Merge branch 'for-linus' of
git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/tegra" and it builds there as well.

Ah, perhaps, I don't know what changed with wireless recently, maybe
something broke them from that tree.  If so, I normally fix them up
right after -rc1 happens and will do so here as well, or earlier if you
push this merge out so I can see the problems.
