Kernel – 4.3-rc1 – Breaks NVIDIA and VMware..
Updated the test system to Kernel 4.3-rc1..
$ uname -a Linux rg6830l 4.3.0-rc1 #1 SMP Sat Sep 12 19:15:35 PDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Brief details of changes are here: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1509.1/03200.html
The NVIDIA gpl_only issue has been fixed in linux/kernel/workqueue.c, but the compile now fails even before that is reached:

VMware 12 vmmon compile fails, with a similar error:

Having the same issue here. I had to compile the ath10k module into the kernel. Hoping that this driver will be included in the standard kernel. Also ar3k bluetooth driver. MSI GS70 notebook.
