Sorry, but this does not fix the build failure.
I can still see SND_COMPRESS_OFFLOAD=m in .config and the build fails.

But the following does fix it for powerpc:

diff --git a/sound/soc/Kconfig b/sound/soc/Kconfig
index 7ea66ee..b92d286 100644
--- a/sound/soc/Kconfig
+++ b/sound/soc/Kconfig
@@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ config SND_SOC_GENERIC_DMAENGINE_PCM
 
 config SND_SOC_COMPRESS
 	bool
+	depends on !PPC
 	select SND_COMPRESS_OFFLOAD
 
 config SND_SOC_TOPOLOGY

-- 

I will just check with alpha and see if that is also affected.
