  + /kisskb/src/drivers/staging/octeon/ethernet-spi.c: error:
'OCTEON_IRQ_RML' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean
'OCTEON_IS_MODEL'?:  => 224:12, 198:19

This was "fixed" in v5.4-rc4/mips/mips-allmodconfig, but reappeared
in v5.4-rc5/mips-gcc8/mips-allmodconfig, presumably due to a different
"make -j" compile order.

Michael: perhaps you can use "make -k", so the build continues as far as
it can get, and we no longer see these fake changes?

Thanks!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
