Subject: linux-next: build warning in Linus' tree

Hi all,

In Linus' tree, today's linux-next build (htmldocs) produced this
warning:

WARNING: /home/sfr/kernels/next/next/include/linux/genalloc.h:52 function parameter 'start_addr' not described in 'genpool_algo_t'

Introduced by commit

  52fbf1134d47 ("lib/genalloc.c: fix allocation of aligned buffer from non-aligned chunk")

This has been exposed recently after a bug was fixed that caused some
warnings to not be reported.

Cheers,
Stephen Rothwell
