This results in:

include/linux/slab.h:229: warning: "ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN" redefined
   229 | #define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN
       |
In file included from include/linux/cache.h:6,
                  from include/linux/mmzone.h:12,
                  from include/linux/gfp.h:7,
                  from include/linux/mm.h:7:
arch/parisc/include/asm/cache.h:28: note: this is the location of the previous definition
    28 | #define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN   16      /* ldcw requires 16-byte alignment */

because commit 4ab5f8ec7d71a ("mm/slab: decouple ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN
from ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN") was not applied as well.

Then there is

include/linux/dma-mapping.h:546:47: error: macro "cache_line_size" passed 1 arguments, but takes just 0
   546 | static inline int dma_get_cache_alignment(void)
       |                                               ^
arch/parisc/include/asm/cache.h:31: note: macro "cache_line_size" defined here
    31 | #define cache_line_size()       dcache_stride
       |
include/linux/dma-mapping.h:547:1: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '{' token

because commit 8c57da28dc3df ("dma: allow dma_get_cache_alignment()
to be overridden by the arch code") is missing as well.

Those two patches fix the compile errors. I have not tested if the resulting
images boot.
