ia64-linux-ld: drivers/acpi/scan.o: in function `__acpi_device_add':
scan.c:(.text+0x27e2): undefined reference to `crc32_le'

Bisect points to commit 882c982dada4d5 ("acpi: Store CRC-32 hash
of the _PLD in struct acpi_device"). Problem is that ACPI now depends
on CRC32. No fix posted as far as I know.

... and many more.

Bisect points to commit fa62f39dc7e2 (" MIPS: Fix build error due to PTR
used in more places") which replaces PTR with PTR_WD but misses one place
in the Cavium code. No fix posted as far as I know.
