You cannot build the kernel source before the kernel is properly configured.
You can use one of the shortcuts if you just want to build test this:

    make allyesconfig

       or

   make allmodconfig

This will configure your kernel and allow you to build the wlan-ng/
drivers.
And when you can build the drivers then you can also run sparse.
