 This looks completely wrong to me, any ordinary PCI parallel port card 
ought just to work as long as you have PCI (S390 is special I'm told).  
What needs to be done is AFAICT just making `parport_pc_find_nonpci_ports' 
in arch/sparc/include/asm/parport.h SPARC64-specific, i.e.:

static int parport_pc_find_nonpci_ports(int autoirq, int autodma)
{
	return (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SPARC64) &&
		platform_driver_register(&ecpp_driver));
}

or suchlike and let the optimiser get rid of all the unwanted unsupported 
stuff.
