Hi all,

After merging the fixes tree, today's linux-next build (perf powerpcle)
failed like this:

arch/powerpc/util/header.c:17:1: error: no previous prototype for 'get_cpuid' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
 get_cpuid(char *buffer, size_t sz)
 ^
arch/powerpc/util/header.c: In function 'get_cpuid':
arch/powerpc/util/header.c:24:7: error: implicit declaration of function 'scnprintf' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  nb = scnprintf(buffer, sz, "%lu,%lu$", PVR_VER(pvr), PVR_REV(pvr));
       ^
arch/powerpc/util/header.c:24:2: error: nested extern declaration of 'scnprintf' [-Werror=nested-externs]
  nb = scnprintf(buffer, sz, "%lu,%lu$", PVR_VER(pvr), PVR_REV(pvr));
  ^

Caused by commit
