Hi all,

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

drivers/net/r8169.c: In function 'rtl8168e_1_hw_phy_config':
drivers/net/r8169.c:2578: error: too many arguments to function 'rtl_apply_firmware'
drivers/net/r8169.c:2578: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
drivers/net/r8169.c: In function 'rtl8168e_2_hw_phy_config':
drivers/net/r8169.c:2586: error: too many arguments to function 'rtl_apply_firmware'
drivers/net/r8169.c:2586: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be

Caused by commit 953a12cc2889 ("r8169: don't request firmware when
there's no userspace") from the net-current tree interacting with commit
01dc7fec4025 ("net/r8169: support RTL8168E").

I applied the following fixup patch:

Stephen, I just merged net-2.6 into net-next-2.6 and added your patch
to the merge commit to make sure the build is fine.

Thanks a lot!
