linux-next: build failure after merge of the mac80211-next tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi Johannes,

After merging the mac80211-next tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

In file included from include/linux/linkage.h:4:0,
                 from include/linux/kernel.h:6,
                 from net/rfkill/core.c:20:

Caused by commit

  1f86443b4ffe ("net: rfkill: add rfkill_find_type function")

Maybe the compiler version matters?  I am using gcc v5.2.0.

Though, it seems to be that "!rfkill_types[NUM_RFKILL_TYPES - 1]" is
not a constant expression since

static const char *rfkill_types[NUM_RFKILL_TYPES]

does not stop "rfkill_types[NUM_RFKILL_TYPES - 1]" being modified at
run time. I think that you might need:

static const char * const rfkill_types[NUM_RFKILL_TYPES]

I have used the mac80211-next from next-20160223 for today.
