Hmm. I pulled and because initial tests didn't show any issues, I
already pushed out.

But some unrelated further testing then shows that this:

> Florian Fainelli (2):
>       firmware: bcm47xx_nvram: Correct size_t printf format
>       firmware: bcm47xx_nvram: Allow COMPILE_TEST

causes problems, and commit feb4eb060c3a ("firmware: bcm47xx_nvram:
Correct size_t printf format") is buggy:

  drivers/firmware/broadcom/bcm47xx_nvram.c: In function ‘nvram_init’:
  drivers/firmware/broadcom/bcm47xx_nvram.c:151: warning: format ‘%zu’
expects argument of type ‘size_t’, but argument 2 has type ‘u32’ {aka
‘unsigned int’} [-Wformat=]

and the change to use %zu was completely wrong.

It prints out 'header.len', which is an u32, not nvram_len which is a size_t.

Tssk tssk.

I've fixed it in my tree, but this should have shown up in linux-next,
or in MIPS testing. The process clearly failed.
