This patch series blows up when I apply it to my char-misc-next branch:

drivers/android/binder_alloc_selftest.c: In function âcheck_buffer_pages_allocatedâ:
drivers/android/binder_alloc_selftest.c:108:44: error: âstruct binder_bufferâ has no member named âdataâ
  end = (void *)PAGE_ALIGN((uintptr_t)buffer->data + size);
                                            ^~
Did you forget to enable CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_SELFTEST when doing your
builds?
