I don't see how that commit in any way reflects this error message.

I can't even see a way to build the ncr53c8xx module with this config.
Unless somebody reenabled EISA on x86, the only way I can see to
still build this driver is on PA-RISC with the ZALON code.

This seems entirely intentional.

Something like this should do the job (whitespace damaged):
