The build failure happens because there's a call to memset that hasn't been caught by the pre-processor and converted to __memset. Typically that's because it's a memset generated by the compiler itself, and that is the case here. With GCC 12, allmodconfig enables CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN, which causes the compiler to emit memset calls to initialise on-stack variables with a pattern. Because prom_init is non-user-facing boot-time only code, as a workaround just disable stack variable initialisation to unbreak the build.
