I don't have the hardware or care about the driver, but I care about
the compilation errors on ARM and MIPS that were not there before
willy's patch. Anyway, since you say it's broken, how about putting
back in the original Kconfig depends and add parisc to the list.
I don't care which patch goes in, as long as the compilation error
goes away.

Subject: [PATCH] scsi: Enable advansys on x86_32 and parisc only
Commit 9d511a4b29de6764931343d03e493f2e04df0271 ("advansys: Changes to
work on parisc") removed the "depends on BROKEN || X86_32" line from
the advansys Kconfig entry. Unfortunately, this led to compilation
errors on ARM and MIPS (that are not related). Nobody looked into this
issue since I reported it in January 2008, but Russell King said that
the driver is completely broken on ARM, and Christoph Hellwig
calls it "broken everywhere". So let's put in the original depends on
BROKEN and make the driver available on x86_32 and parisc.
