Hi Martin,

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

Caused by commit

  61d8658b4a43 ("scsi: qedf: Add QLogic FastLinQ offload FCoE driver framework")

being rebased on top of commit

  10383aea2f44 ("kref: Implement 'struct kref' using refcount_t")

and not using kref_read() to access the refcounts.

I don't understand why you would rebase you work onto Linus' tree in
the middle of the merge window in any case. :-(

I have used the scsi-mkp tree from next-20170221 again.
