Hmm. While I in general support the notion of trying to compile drivers on 
as wide a variety as hardware as possible, if that HTC_PASIC3 thing really 
is a PXA-only piece of hardware, I don't really see the point of not 
making the config file accurately represent that.

That said, as far as I can tell, the compile failure is because of this 
line:

	#include <asm/arch/pxa-regs.h>

and I cannot for the life of me see _why_ it tries to include that header 
file. It seems to compile fine on x96-64 if you just remove that include, 
and while I still think it should depend on ARCH_PXA just because it makes 
no sense _not_ to, I do wonder why that include is there in the first 
place.

Hmm?
