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 (powerpc
allyesconfig) failed like this:

drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/pcie.c: In function 'mwifiex_pcie_fw_dump_work':
drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/pcie.c:2290:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'vmalloc' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
   entry->mem_ptr = vmalloc(memory_size + 1);
   ^
drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/pcie.c:2290:18: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast [enabled by default]
   entry->mem_ptr = vmalloc(memory_size + 1);
                  ^
drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/pcie.c:2361:4: error: implicit declaration of function 'vfree' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    vfree(entry->mem_ptr);
    ^

Caused by commit e050c76fcf49 ("mwifiex: add firmware dump feature for
PCIe").

I have applied this patch for today:
