Yes, I will. I built tested on arm32 and x86 before posting the patch
but forgot about sparse.

Getting more build coverage for the drivers will likely lead to new
build warnings like the one reported by Fengguang so I wonder if should
just desist in enabling COMPILE_TEST for drivers since I would not be
able to test in every possible setup.

On the other hand, I guess the fact that there are issues found, shows
the usefulness of COMPILE_TEST.
