Subject: compile error on 3.10.1

Hi, just trying to compile a vanilla kernel and building using
allmodconfig and using oldconfig with the debian 3.10.1 config as a base.

With the later config, I get the following:

  CC [M]  drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/debugfs.o

There are also a bunch of warnings, most of the ones I could catch are
signedness related.
