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

Hi all,

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

net/core/devlink.c: In function 'devlink_nl_port_function_attrs_put':
net/core/devlink.c:586:3: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration
  586 |   int uninitialized_var(hw_addr_len);
      |   ^~~
net/core/devlink.c:589:65: error: 'hw_addr_len' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'hw_addr'?
  589 |   err = ops->port_function_hw_addr_get(devlink, port, hw_addr, &hw_addr_len, extack);
      |                                                                 ^~~~~~~~~~~
      |                                                                 hw_addr
net/core/devlink.c:589:65: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

Caused by commit

  2e6d06799c15 ("compiler: Remove uninitialized_var() macro")

interacting with commit

  2a916ecc4056 ("net/devlink: Support querying hardware address of port function")

from the net-next tree.

I have added the following merge fix patch.
