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

Hi James,

After merging the scsi tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

drivers/scsi/scsi_logging.c: In function 'sdev_prefix_printk':
drivers/scsi/scsi_logging.c:119:6: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
  ret = dev_printk(level, &sdev->sdev_gendev, "%s", logbuf);
      ^
drivers/scsi/scsi_logging.c: In function 'scmd_printk':
drivers/scsi/scsi_logging.c:146:6: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
  ret = dev_printk(level, &scmd->device->sdev_gendev, "%s", logbuf);
      ^

Caused by commit ded85c193a39 ("scsi: Implement per-cpu logging
buffer") interacting with commit d1f1052c5204 ("device: Change
dev_<level> logging functions to return void") from the driver-core
tree.

I added the following merge resolution patch.  Someone will have to
remember to tell Linus.  Also, the void return may be able to be
propagated further up the chain since these two new affected functions
now always return 0.
