Kbuild found a build problem, I suspect it's caused by this patch:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/pci.c:3416:8: error: implicit
declaration of function 'ath10k_pci_suspend'
[-Werror=3Dimplicit-function-declaration]

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/pci.c:3428:8: error: implicit
declaration of function 'ath10k_pci_resume'
[-Werror=3Dimplicit-function-declaration]

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2017-October/010269.html

The .config.gz there doesn't have CONFIG_PM set, maybe that's the
problem?
