Actually, it was buildable, until this commit:

commit b4b58f5834a023dab67201db9a626bef07bb200c
Author: Chandra Shekhar <x0044955@ti.com>
Date:   Wed Oct 8 10:01:39 2008 +0300

    ARM: OMAP: Allocate McBSP devices dynamically
    
    Based on Chandra's earlier patches in linux-omap tree.
    
    Note that omap1_mcbsp_check and omap2_mcbsp_check are no longer
    needed as there's now omap_mcbsp_check_valid_id() defined.
    
    Also some functions can now be marked __init.

which means it's a regression and therefore needs fixing before 2.6.28.
