Thanks for reporting Guenter (and taking the time to set up auto-building
of different arches - we have a metag buildbot but it hasn't been
tracking the temporary linux-next URL).
Rob, sorry I didn't get around to testing your revised patchset until
now. Please apply something like the patch below (preferably as a fixup)
for f261500 (metag: use common of_flat_dt_match_machine).
This will cause a rebase conflict in "metag: move setup_machine_fdt
declaration from prom.h" since I added const to setup_machine_fdt()'s
return pointer, so that const needs adding to setup.h too.
Does that sound okay?
Thanks
James

Subject: [PATCH FIXUP] metag: fix build error converting to
of_flat_dt_match_machine
Fix the following build error and warning due to commit f261500 (metag:
use common of_flat_dt_match_machine):
arch/metag/kernel/devtree.c: In function 'setup_machine_fdt':
arch/metag/kernel/devtree.c:52: error: 'arch_get_next_mach' undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/metag/kernel/devtree.c:52: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
arch/metag/kernel/devtree.c:52: error: for each function it appears in.)
arch/metag/kernel/devtree.c:52: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type
make[1]: *** [arch/metag/kernel/devtree.o] Error 1
The arch_get_next_mach() function was missing, and there was a const
mismatch which I've pushed out to the global machine_desc pointer. Also
fix a little broken indentation (due presumably to the multiline
comment) and added back a pr_info of the name of the machine which the
kernel is using, as that's often useful to tell if it's using a more
generic machine than it should be.
