Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the wireless-next tree

Hi John,

After merging the wireless-next tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

drivers/staging/rtl8821ae/rc.c:289:2: error: unknown field 'module' specified in initializer
  .module = NULL,
  ^

Caused by commit 161d78555435 ("Revert "Staging: rtl8812ae: remove
modules field of rate_control_ops"").

The commit "Staging: rtl8812ae: remove modules field of rate_control_ops"
was needed in the wireless-next tree - I said so at the time of reporting
the original breakage: 

> Actually, your tree is based on -rc2, so you need this patch already (it
> should have bee included in the merge commit 841577c3d33b ("Merge branch
> 'for-john' of
> git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jberg/mac80211-next").

And now that part of the wireless-next tree has migrated to the net-next tree.

I have no idea why you thought you should revert the fix.

I have used the wireless tree from next-20140224 for today.
