Hi all,

After merging the staging tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/os_dep/ioctl_cfg80211.c:3426:25: error: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
.change_virtual_intf = cfg80211_rtw_change_iface,
^
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/os_dep/ioctl_cfg80211.c:3426:25: note: (near initialization for 'rtw_cfg80211_ops.change_virtual_intf')
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/os_dep/ioctl_cfg80211.c:3445:22: error: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
.add_virtual_intf = cfg80211_rtw_add_virtual_intf,
^
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/os_dep/ioctl_cfg80211.c:3445:22: note: (near initialization for 'rtw_cfg80211_ops.add_virtual_intf')

Caused by commit

554c0a3abf21 ("staging: Add rtl8723bs sdio wifi driver")

interacting with commit

818a986e4eba ("cfg80211: move add/change interface monitor flags into params")

from the mac80211-next tree.

I have added the following merge fix patch:

Subject: [PATCH] staging: merge fix for add/change_virtual-intf API change
