Hi, just trying to compile a vanilla kernel and building using
allmodconfig and using oldconfig with the debian 3.10.1 config as a base.

With the later config, I get the following:

There are also a bunch of warnings, most of the ones I could catch are
signedness related.

Is this new to 3.10.1 and works fine for 3.10.0?

Care to send this to the atheros wireless developers?  I'm sure they
would like to know about it.

I'll check.

All I've tested so far is debian's 2.6.32, 3.9.8, 3.10.1, and a vanilla 3.10.1 
(with allmodconfig and oldconfig+debian config).

I meant to say I only tried 3.10.1... I'm getting this and my last email 
confused a little.

Just tested the v3.10 tag from the stable repo and it exhibits the same 
problem.
