Several powerpc build fail with:

dev_consume_skb_any() does not exist in 3.12.

Introduced by 'gianfar: Carefully free skbs in functions called by netpoll'.

Eric, David,

what action should I take here?

1) take also:
commit e6247027e5173c00efb2084d688d06ff835bc3b0
Author: Eric Dumazet [off-list ref]
Date:   Thu Dec 5 04:45:08 2013 -0800

    net: introduce dev_consume_skb_any()


2) drop 'gianfar: Carefully free skbs in functions called by netpoll'
from stable-3.12

3) any other idea?

thanks,
