I have absolutely no idea ;-) my interest in this is fixing the build
faliure and making the target useful again, unfortunately the
maintainer is MIA, I performed the minimal obvious change. 

I could tidy this futher, but my version of this hardware will not run
the kernel at all (hardware is old broken dev. board) so I am worried
I may break something with a larger blind change.
