Argh, a typo here. I forgot to refresh the patch, sorry.
Below is the revised one.

Subject: [PATCH v2] ALSA: compress: Disable GET_CODEC_CAPS ioctl for some
architectures
Some architectures like PowerPC can handle the maximum struct size in
an ioctl only up to 13 bits, and struct snd_compr_codec_caps used by
SNDRV_COMPRESS_GET_CODEC_CAPS ioctl overflows this limit. This
problem was revealed recently by a powerpc change, as it's now treated
as a fatal build error.
This patch is a workaround for that: for architectures with less than
14 bit ioctl struct size, get rid of the handling of the relevant
ioctl. We should provide an alternative equivalent ioctl code later,
but for now just paper over it. Luckily, the compress API hasn't been
used on such architectures, so the impact must be effectively zero.
