Hi, 

I did a git pull of linux-next-20110110 (topmost commit is 
4c897f27ad2668534f719202a3b88abe8ec31011) and applied the patch. With 
CONFIG_DMI and CONFIG_ACPI both set, I did not encounter this build failure. 
The definition for `utf16s_to_utf8s' is available in 'include/linux/nls.h' 
which is included in 'drivers/pci/pci-label.c' and the build succeeded. Sorry 
if I am missing something here.

Stephen,

Could you share the .config which caused this build failure ?

With regards,
Narendra K
