This doesn't compile for me:

I thought I mentioned this in the mail, sorry for missing that.

Maybe you did and I just forgot, I have a tendency to do that :)

There is a patch for this issue in linux-next already [1] which is
part of [2], which was part of the pull request to arm-soc for
inclusion in v4.9.

[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9272457/
[2] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/agross/linux.git/tag/?h=qcom-drivers-for-4.9

So the commit in question is:

soc: qcom: smd: Correct compile stub prototypes
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/agross/linux.git/commit/?h=qcom-drivers-for-4.9&id=3a1281848830fcb3202cfd7ffe62d19641471d05

Correct

But that's not obviously in my tree yet, but I should have it after
4.9-rc1 is released. I think it's easiest that I wait for that before
applying these. Do you agree?

Would be nice to have it land sooner rather than later, but I'm okay
with this.

We could just treat the tag as immutable.  You can merge the tag in and arm-soc
can as well.  it'll just get nop'd the second time it is taken.  The only
downside is if arm-soc doesn't take my merge request.

I take it that you are talking about this tag:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agross/linux.git qcom-drivers-for-4.9

I did a test pull and there are only 8 commits so in theory that could
work. But my trees go via Dave Miller's net-next so I can't control when
they hit Linus' tree. It might be that Linus pulls the net-next tree
before arm-soc and arm-soc commits coming from net-next might confuse
people. I'm just afraid that the hassle would outweight the benefit.

Or we can wait till -rc1

To keep things simple I prefer this option. Of course it means waiting
few more extra weeks, but when working with new subsystems that can
happen. The crystall ball[1] says that 4.9-rc1 would be released on
2016-10-16 so it's not that far away.
