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

Hi all,

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

drivers/net/ethernet/toshiba/ps3_gelic_net.c: In function 'gelic_net_setup_netdev':
drivers/net/ethernet/toshiba/ps3_gelic_net.c:1480:26: error: passing argument 2 of 'eth_hw_addr_set' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
