Hrm, this was reported in -next and fixed with commit 234393 (regulator:
mc13xxx-regulator-core: Fix the build when driver is selected as module)
but didn't get reported when the commit was first introduced...

Given that allmodconfigs are one of the most commonly tested
configurations for -next I'm wondering both why this didn't get picked
up by any of them and why this is a sparc64 specific issue?
