I highly doubt if this is really a LoongArch-only issue. We have:

#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
extern long compat_ptr_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd,
unsigned long arg);
#else
#define compat_ptr_ioctl NULL
#endif

AFAIK bindgen does not translate C preprocessor macro definitions, so
when !CONFIG_COMPAT we won't have the Rust binding for it.

And as LA32 is not upstreamed it's pointless to support COMPAT for
LoongArch, yet.
