Hi Greg,

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

drivers/iio/counter/stm32-lptimer-cnt.c:181:2: error: unknown field 'driver_module' specified in initializer
.driver_module = THIS_MODULE,
^

Caused by commit

97623c0a80a6 ("iio: drop iio_info.driver_module and iio_trigger_ops.owner.")

I have used the staging tree from next-20170922 for today.
