Hi all,

0day reported a build error in arch/powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/mvme5100.c
when building with clang [1]. This is not a clang specific issue since
it also happens with gcc:

I am not sure how exactly this should be fixed. Should this driver just
not be selectable when CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is selected or is there
something else that I am missing?
