error: implicit declaration of function ‘hci_recv_fragment’ (Linux 3.18)

[julienchauveau]

The hci_recv_fragment function has been removed in Linux kernel 3.18.

cf. http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0097db06f5ab2df1756bc4cbf4395593024d87a1

This leads to build errors in both master and new branches.

   if (hci_recv_fragment(hdev, HCI_EVENT_PKT,

A fix has been pushed to the new branch. The master branch will need to wait for a bit.

@lwfinger Thank you.

Of course it is for your hardware. You need to use "git checkout new". That is what I meany by using the new branch!!!
