You need to revert ce78ffa3ef16 and that's already done in net-next. So once current net-next and char-misc-next reaches linus tree everything should be fine.

I forgot to mention that the testing should be done with both char-misc-next and net-next or in linux-next.

Is it mandatory to make it work with char-misc alone? In usual case I know it is mandatory but I thought with current situation it should be fine.

Thanks,
