Ugh, that's a rabbit hole you can disappear into for a long time.  I did
a few patches but ran out of time, I can spend days mucking down in
there unwinding the mess...

Johnny, Rachel, Dean, and Chris, can you all fix up all of the build
warnings as soon as possible?  Take my tree and work off of that, just
build it on your desktop 64bit Linux build and get rid of all of them
properly and send me the patches.  Hopefully by the end of this week so
that linux-next can get some testing with this driver enabled.

thanks,

greg k-h
