This patch breaks building certain ARM configs (noMMU). A followup
patch is needed to fix this and is already available upstream: 

Commit 63384fd (ARM: 7772/1: Fix missing flush_kernel_dcache_page()
for noMMU)

Thus, please add that patch as well. If it is too late to do this, my
suggestion would be to queue both of them together for the next
cycle.
