Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (wireless
 tree related)

Hi ,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
allyesconfig) failed like this:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c:27:1: error: expected ')' before 'KBUILD_MODNAME'
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c:27:1: error: 'KBUILD_MODNAME' undeclared here (not in a function)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c:27:1: error: expected ',' or ';' before string constant
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/init.c:32:1: error: expected ')' before 'KBUILD_MODNAME'
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/init.c:32:1: error: 'KBUILD_MODNAME' undeclared here (not in a function)

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/init.c:33:1: error: expected ')' before 'KBUILD_MODNAME'

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/init.c:33:1: error: expected ',' or ';' before string constant
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/init.c:34:1: error: expected ')' before 'KBUILD_MODNAME'
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/init.c:34:1: error: invalid initializer

I can't figure out what goes wrong here.  On the compile command line,
KBUILD_MODNAME is not defined, but KBUILD_BASE_NAME is.

However, reverting commit fde57764ef87 ("ath6kl: enable USB support")
made the problem go away.  That commit caused the above two files to be
built into two separate modules.
