Hi all,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
allyesconfig) failed like this:

drivers/video/backlight/ams369fg06.o:(.bss+0x510): multiple definition of `before_power'
drivers/video/backlight/s6e63m0.o:(.bss+0x5e0): first defined here

Caused by commit 45193c8486ef ("Add the ams369fg06 amoled panel driver.
The ams369fg06 amoled panel (480"). The variable should probably be
static in both files.

I have applied the following patch for today:
