Indeed, the code in v3.1-rc9 is quite different to that in linux-next, so
this exact problem doesn't exist in linux-next.

However, don't we still want to solve build problems for the final v3.1
release, or a stable update to that? As such,

I also CC'd the staging maintainer Greg KH and Tegra maintainers Olof and
Colin on this email.
