Hi Stephen (and Greg, just as an FYI):

There is a semantic conflict between these two trees:

  drivers/cdx/cdx.c:393:8: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'ssize_t (*)(const struct bus_type *, const char *, size_t)' (aka 'long (*)(const struct bus_type *, const char *, unsigned long)') with an expression of type

caused by commit 75cff725d956 ("driver core: bus: mark the struct
bus_type for sysfs callbacks as constant") in the driver-core tree
interacting with commit 2959ab247061 ("cdx: add the cdx bus driver") in
the char-misc tree. The following diff fixes it for me, could it be
applied to the merge of the char-misc tree (if I am reading the order of
your merges correctly)?

If there is a better or more appropriate way to report this, please let
me know.

Cheers,
Nathan
