powerpc:defconfig fails to build.

arch/powerpc/kernel/eeh_driver.c: In function ‘eeh_handle_normal_event’:
arch/powerpc/kernel/eeh_driver.c:678:2: error: implicit declaration of function 
‘eeh_for_each_pe’; did you mean ‘bus_for_each_dev’?

It has a point:

... HEAD is now at 13cac61d31df Linux 4.4.196-rc1
$ git grep eeh_for_each_pe
arch/powerpc/kernel/eeh_driver.c:       eeh_for_each_pe(pe, tmp_pe)
arch/powerpc/kernel/eeh_driver.c:                               
eeh_for_each_pe(pe, tmp_pe)

Caused by commit 3fb431be8de3a ("powerpc/eeh: Clear stale EEH_DEV_NO_HANDLER 
flag").
Full report will follow later.

Thanks for letting me know, I've dropped this from the queue now and
pushed out a -rc2 with that removed.

Sasha, I thought your builder would have caught stuff like this?

Interesting, the 4.4 build fails for me with vanilla 4.4 LTS kernel
(which is why this was missed):

Is this allmodconfig ? That is correct - it won't build in 4.4.y, and it would 
not be
easy to fix.

Oh, interesting, so no allmodconfig? I've disabled everything but
allmodconfig on a few architectures in an attempt to save to build time.


If I recall correctly, it stopped working quite some time ago for v4.4.y, and 
the powerpc
maintainers didn't want to spend the time fixing it. It works with v4.9.y and 
later.
