Hi all,

[The mirroring on kernel.org is running slowly]

Changes since 20101217:
ERROR: "thermal_cooling_device_register" [drivers/acpi/video.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "thermal_cooling_device_unregister" [drivers/acpi/video.ko] undefined!
This bug has been reported two months ago, one month ago, it has been ignored twice 
and now the bug has been pushed upstream and it's triggering there as well.

What's going on?
*Tap*, *tap*, is this thing on? :)

acpi-video is still build-broken upstream, as of .38-rc3:

   MODPOST 651 modules
 ERROR: "thermal_cooling_device_register" [drivers/acpi/video.ko] undefined!
 ERROR: "thermal_cooling_device_unregister" [drivers/acpi/video.ko] undefined!
 WARNING: modpost: Found 37 section mismatch(es).
 To see full details build your kernel with:
 'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'
 make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
 make: *** [modules] Error 2

Triggers in about 10% of all randconfig builds. Config attached.

From: Randy Dunlap <redacted>

Several ACPI drivers select THERMAL, but THERMAL depends on NET
(for netlink).  Fix build breakage by making the ACPI drivers
also depend on NET.
Well, making ACPI_FAN depend on NET seems to be a kind of an overstretch to me.
A proper fix would be to disable the netlink interface in THERMAL when
NET is unset, I guess.  I'll see what can be done to that end (although I had
hoped that the people who introduced the breakage would handle it).
OK, please check if the appended patch helps.  Admittedly, I only built it
with CONFIG_NET set, so caveat emptor.
Looks good, built both with NET=y and NET disabled.

Thanks.
