Hi,
I was following the tutorial on how to build your first patch and came
across this error when running
sudo make modules_install install

the question is should I report a bug on a staging driver?
and how this could be fixed? did the alloc_netdev function changed?
this kernel was compiled with make allyesconfig
Thanks,
PD: I am a Kernel newbie trying to commit my first patch...
