Hi,
I encountered a build error with current git tree:

This has been caused by commit e82404ad612ebabc65d15c3d59b971cb35c3ff36
from David Miller:
config IWL4965_LEDS
bool "Enable LEDS features in iwl4965 driver"
- depends on IWL4965 && MAC80211_LEDS && LEDS_CLASS
+ depends on IWL4965
+ select MAC80211_LEDS
+ select LEDS_CLASS
the problem is that MAC80211_LEDS *depends* on LEDS_TRIGGER but does not
_select_ it. IOW enabling IWL4965_LEDS enables MAC80211_LEDS which in
turn does not compile if LEDS_TRIGGER is not enabled.
LEDS_TRIGGER is not enough though, NEW_LEDS (which is a menuconfig
guarding the aforementioned symbol) must also be selected.
---
Since MAC80211_LEDS is selected by wireless drivers it must select its
own dependencies otherwise a build error may occur (kbuild will select
the symbol regardless of "depends" constraints).

This option enables a few LED triggers for different
packet receive/transmit events.
