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

Hi all,

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

drivers/staging/dgrp/dgrp_specproc.c: In function 'config_proc_write':
drivers/staging/dgrp/dgrp_specproc.c:465:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'vzalloc' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
drivers/staging/dgrp/dgrp_specproc.c:465:13: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast [enabled by default]
drivers/staging/dgrp/dgrp_specproc.c:491:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'vfree' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Caused by commit 0b52b7497271 ("staging: Add dgrp driver for Digi
Realport devices").

I have added this fix patch for today:
