Doesn't build properly on x86-64:

  CC [M]  drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb.o
drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb.c: In function ‘ravb_set_buffer_align’:
drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb.c:955:16: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
  u32 reserve = (u32)skb->data & (RAVB_ALIGN - 1);
                ^
drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb.c: At top level:
drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb.c:2771:2: error: unknown field ‘gettime’ specified in initializer
  .gettime = ravb_ptp_gettime,
  ^
drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ravb.c:2772:2: error: unknown field ‘settime’ specified in initializer
  .settime = ravb_ptp_settime,
  ^

It is not acceptable to fix this by removing COMPILE_TEST from the Kconfig
dependencies or something like that.

Thanks.
