This is not necessaily the right fix, sorry.

I'd rather this driver be available to compile on as many
configurations as possible, to increase build coverage.

There is a standard way to make readq available on 32-bit platforms
and I want you to do research into how that works and how you can thus
make your driver build even on 32-bit targets.
