Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the v4l-dvb tree

Hi Mauro,

After merging the v4l-dvb tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

fs/compat_ioctl.c: In function 'do_video_set_spu_palette':
fs/compat_ioctl.c:218:45: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct video_spu_palette'
  up_native = compat_alloc_user_space(sizeof(struct video_spu_palette));
                                             ^~~~~~

            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Caused by commit

  f863ce990030 ("media: dvb: get rid of VIDEO_SET_SPU_PALETTE")

grep is your friend ...

I have reverted that commit for today.
