Conflict between arch/powerpc/include/asm/disassemble.h and drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/include/wifi.h

Hello,

I was trying to include powerpc asm/disassemble.h in some more widely used headers in order to 
reduce open coding, and I'm facing the following problem:

drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/include/wifi.h:237:30: error: conflicting types for 'get_ra'
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/include/wifi.h:237:30: error: conflicting types for 'get_ra'
make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:272: drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_btcoex.o] Error 1
make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:272: drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_ap.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:515: drivers/staging/rtl8723bs] Error 2

(More details at http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/head/ee2dedcaaf3fe176e68498018632767d02639d03/)

Taking into account that asm/disassemble.h has been existing since 2008 while 
rtl8723bs/include/wifi.h was created in 2017, and that the get_ra() defined in the later is used at 
exactly one place only, would it be possible to change it there ?

Thanks
