Presumably caused by commit 554c0a3abf21 ("staging: Add rtl8723bs sdio wifi driver") I guess this driver was copied from drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/ at some point and modified (or they have the same ancestor) since they share a large number of global symbols. I have applied the following patch for today: From: Stephen Rothwell Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2017 14:53:55 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] staging: disable the rtl8723bs sdio wifi driver for now Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell --- drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/Kconfig | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/Kconfig b/drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/Kconfig index 71450eee3b28..04706d3148d6 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/Kconfig @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ config RTL8723BS tristate "Realtek RTL8723BS SDIO Wireless LAN NIC driver" depends on WLAN && MMC && CFG80211 + depends on BROKEN select WIRELESS_EXT select WEXT_PRIV ---help--- -- 2.11.0 -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
