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

Hi Michal,

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

drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/mdfld_dsi_output.c:407:39: error: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
  .dpms = /*drm_helper_connector_dpms*/mdfld_dsi_connector_dpms,
                                       ^

Caused by commit

  ea8daa7b9784 ("kbuild: Add option to turn incompatible pointer check into error")

Maybe this needs to be optional?

I have reverted that commit for today.
