Not according to my observations, kernel/dma.c is always built for
GENERIC_ISA_DMA configurations, so:

kernel/dma.c:70:5: error: no previous prototype for 'request_dma' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
70 | int request_dma(unsigned int dmanr, const char * device_id)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
kernel/dma.c:88:6: error: no previous prototype for 'free_dma' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
88 | void free_dma(unsigned int dmanr)
| ^~~~~~~~

are issued regardless (and FAOD with PARPORT_PC unset).

I can't speak for SPARC support for ISA DMA, but it seems to me like the
second sentence would best be removed, as would the Fixes: tag (in favour
to:

Fixes: 0fcb70851fbf ("Makefile.extrawarn: turn on missing-prototypes globally")

I presume), and possibly the messages quoted above included instead.
