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

Hi John,

After merging the wireless-next tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

net/wireless/nl80211.c: In function 'nl80211_ch_switch_notify':
net/wireless/nl80211.c:8060:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'NLA_PUT_U32' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Caused by commit 5314526b1743 ("cfg80211: add channel switch notify
event") interacting with commit 9360ffd18597 ("wireless: Stop using
NLA_PUT*()") from the net-next tree.

I added the following merge fix patch.

John, you may like to cherry-pick that commit from Dave's tree (or back
merge that part of Dave's tree or get Dave to merge you tree and start
further work on top of the merge).
