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

Hi all,

After merging the drm-misc tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc44x_defconfig) failed like this:

ld: drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmon.o: in function `fb_modesetting_disabled':

Caused by commit

  0ba2fa8cbd29 ("fbdev: Add support for the nomodeset kernel parameter")

This build does not have CONFIG_VIDEO_NOMODESET set.

I applied the following patch for today.
