PPC64 building allmodconfig fails to compile drivers/ata/pata_scc.c . It doesn't show up on other arches because this driver is specific to the architecture. drivers/ata/pata_scc.c: In function `scc_bmdma_status': drivers/ata/pata_scc.c:734: error: structure has no member named `active_tag' drivers/ata/pata_scc.c: In function `scc_pata_prereset': drivers/ata/pata_scc.c:866: warning: passing arg 1 of `ata_std_prereset' from incompatible pointer type drivers/ata/pata_scc.c: In function `scc_error_handler': drivers/ata/pata_scc.c:908: warning: passing arg 2 of `ata_bmdma_drive_eh' from incompatible pointer type drivers/ata/pata_scc.c:908: warning: passing arg 3 of `ata_bmdma_drive_eh' from incompatible pointer type drivers/ata/pata_scc.c:908: warning: passing arg 5 of `ata_bmdma_drive_eh' from incompatible pointer type make[2]: *** [drivers/ata/pata_scc.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [drivers/ata] Error 2 make: *** [drivers] Error 2 The problem seems to be in git-libata-all.patch but based on similar changes in this patch, the following patch should be the fix.
