What went > wrong? I think this is purely a linux-next build failure. I do full allmodconfig builds between each merge I do, and what happened is that as part of the LED merge, I removed the no-longer-used 'i2c_acpi_find_match_adapter()' to resolve that build warning. Then linux-next presumably merged my tree with the driver-core tree, and that re-instated the use of i2c_acpi_find_match_adapter() - which was now gone. But when *I* merged the driver-core tree, I did the merge fixup correctly to actually re-instate not only the use, but also re-instate the removed function that now had a use again. > Linus, should I submit a fix for this? My tree should be fine, and I really think this is just a temporary linux-next effect from the above. I think linux-next only handled the actual syntactic conflicts, not the semantic conflict of "function had been removed to avoid build error from previous merge, and needed to be brought back" Knock wood.
