 Not according to my observations, kernel/dma.c is always built for 
GENERIC_ISA_DMA configurations, so:

kernel/dma.c:70:5: error: no previous prototype for 'request_dma' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
   70 | int request_dma(unsigned int dmanr, const char * device_id)
      |     ^~~~~~~~~~~
kernel/dma.c:88:6: error: no previous prototype for 'free_dma' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
   88 | void free_dma(unsigned int dmanr)
      |      ^~~~~~~~

are issued regardless (and FAOD with PARPORT_PC unset).

 I can't speak for SPARC support for ISA DMA, but it seems to me like the 
second sentence would best be removed, as would the Fixes: tag (in favour 
to:

Fixes: 0fcb70851fbf ("Makefile.extrawarn: turn on missing-prototypes globally")

I presume), and possibly the messages quoted above included instead.
