Bisect points to commit fd09cc80165c ("rtc: cmos: move mc146818rtc code out of
asm-generic/rtc.h"). Bisct log is attached.

Note that removing the offending include file works for sparc32 but
not for x86; it results in a missing definition of CMOS_READ().

I have trouble reproducing this, but I think the problem here is that there
are two definitions of CMOS_READ() in sparc, and we pick up the wrong one
here: there is no 'rtc_port' variable outside of drivers/char/rtc.c, and we
don't build that file any more on sparc32, so we probably want this patch:

Can you check if this fixes the problem?


Yes, it does. I did test builds with both sparc:allmodconfig and sparc64:allmodconfig
after applying above diff; both passed.
