I was with you, here (until I looked hard :-().

bbf96b3cb54a237f1a66883390637e30bb4407ba is the merge of the staging-next
tree into linux-next. 759b9f0fe0c5be0d9fa1b92e14e093961312f6ac is the
patch "Staging: ti-st: remove st_get_plat_device" that is in
staging.current (and also in staging-next as commmit
dbd3a8709560365ff9b1e5eca263f608877a8a89).
83ef41f0858b48cce4f8ca23f674ec55d50bf47d is the commit "staging: ti-st:
mv headers to ti_wilink_st" that is in the staging-next tree.

I was as well.  All I could guess was that my merge resolution when merging
the staging-next tree was not correct?  The resolution I did was to remove
drivers/staging/ti-st/st.h and drivers/staging/ti-st/st_core.h (since
that had been done in commit 83ef41f0 ("staging: ti-st: mv headers to
ti_wilink_st") in staging-next) and ...

(I see it now) I used the wrong version of
drivers/staging/ti-st/st_kim.c ... Sorry about that.  I will correct that
merge in the next release of linux-next.
