Once I start to use newer GCC (5.1.1) I get those as well. My previous GCC (4.8) did not report them.

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
My configuration lacked the CONFIG_NET_POLL_CONTROLLER this is why I missed this typo caused due to renaming. I added CONFIG_NETCONSOLE to my configuration, now GCC report this error as well.

It was renamed: nps_enet_board_irq_handler -> nps_enet_irq_handler (I removed the _board).

> It is quite infuriating to receive a patch like this which is claimed to be complete and ready to be applied to my tree, yet it is very clearly not.
My sincerest apologies  for any problem I have made. I will send another version that will be worth applying to your tree.
