Is this really the right fix?
Short term I htink it is OK, but I think there should be a common way
to do the same for all archtectures so no conditional compilation is
needed. In other words the use of pgprot_cached_wthru looks like we
need a better abstraction.
Added Christoph to the mail as he has a good overview of the area.

Yes, ifdef in the code should match driver dependencies in Kconfig:
config FB_CONTROL
bool "Apple \"control\" display support"
depends on (FB = y) && ((PPC_PMAC && PPC32) || COMPILE_TEST)

This would be of course nice to have but won't be enough to remove
the ifdef in this particular driver.

Why do we even bother allocing the driver to compile for !ppc32
given that it clearly needs ppc-specific infrastructure? The whole
idea of needing magic stubs for the COMPILE_TEST case seems rather
counterproduction.

Not a perfect solution but at the cost of 2 ifdefs it allows controlfb
driver to be compile tested on any arch.
Being able to compile test fbdev device drivers is really useful for
me and saves me a lot of time when doing fbdev maintainer duties.

All the usual good arguments.
If this driver only builds for 32bit powerpc then we will seldom
build it and every time we do some refactoring we risk introducing
build errros in this driver that is triggered much later.
So a few hacks are preferred to actually make it build.
But hacks should not paper over missing abstractions
in the general ioremap handlign and such.
I recall someone said the other day that drm folks had a tendency to
workaround rather than fixing this.
So this is "drm folks" reaching out and asking if this is a
case where we have a workaround and need a fix?
I will - after some testing - apply the fix from Bartlomiej.
But would like to know if this is a workarond or a fix.
Dropping COMPILE_TEST is not an option as explained above.
Sam

I've updated my build script to include a few popwerpc 32 bit configs.
Patch looked correct, and my builds was OK.
So applied to drm-misc-next and pushed out.
If my prodding of Christoph will result in anything only time will tell.
