Please always quote the compiler error messages when fixing build
errors.  It is unobvious what the problems are here.  I could struggle
away and create a CONFIG_PCI=n build, but what .c file do I need to
compile?  Dunno.


All those ifdefs are nasty.  Couldn't we do something like:

#ifdef CONFIG_SSB_PCIHOST
static inline int
ssb_pci_dma_mapping_error(structy pci_dev *host_pci, dma_addr_t addr)
{
	return pci_dma_mapping_error(host_pci, addr);
}

#else

static inline int
ssb_pci_dma_mapping_error(structy pci_dev *host_pci, dma_addr_t addr)
{
	return -ENOSYS;
}

#endif

(etc)

and then leave the __ssb_dma_not_implemented() calls under the default:
case in the switch statements?
