One simple solution would be to disable the building of unneeded
drivers by tuning your config.mk.

I suggest you to enable only the driver that you need.

Long answer, I don't know. Maybe some fix is needed to regain
compatibility. But, again, in your situation you can (and should for
efficienty's sake) forget about all the drivers that you don't care of.
