    ALSA: compress: Disable GET_CODEC_CAPS ioctl for some architectures · 462b3f16

    Some architectures like PowerPC can handle the maximum struct size in
    an ioctl only up to 13 bits, and struct snd_compr_codec_caps used by
    SNDRV_COMPRESS_GET_CODEC_CAPS ioctl overflows this limit.  This
    problem was revealed recently by a powerpc change, as it's now treated
    as a fatal build error.
    
    This patch is a stop-gap for that: for architectures with less than 14
    bit ioctl struct size, get rid of the handling of the relevant ioctl.
    We should provide an alternative equivalent ioctl code later, but for
    now just paper over it.  Luckily, the compress API hasn't been used on
    such architectures, so the impact must be effectively zero.
