Hi John,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (i386 defconfig)
failed like this:

net/mac80211/cfg.c: In function 'sta_apply_parameters':
net/mac80211/cfg.c:746: error: 'struct sta_info' has no member named 'plink_state'

Cause by commit 9c3990aaec0a ("nl80211: Let userspace drive the peer link
management states").  plink_state is only available in sta_info if
CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is set.

I applied the following patch for today (which my not be correct).
