Hi Samuel,

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

drivers/mfd/tps6586x.c: In function 'tps6586x_add_subdevs':

Caused by commit 8232c2794cf0e39b38d089eff49500461ecdbb8f ("mfd: Add
TPS6586x driver"). "struct tps6586x_platform_data" is not defined
anywhere ...

It seems to me that the include/linux/mfd/tps6586x.h was omitted from your commit to the mfd tree. Can you please check?

I have used the mfd tree from next-20100807 for today.
