Suppressing this whole is an overreaction, IMO.  It should suffice
just to disable compile-testing Intel driver.
How about the patch below?

Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: intel: suppress compile-test with PowerPC

Since some ioctl in compress offload API is broken for PPC (the struct
size overflows), now we get actually the build error.

Until we get the proper solution (e.g. alternative ioctl), let's
disable the build of Intel ASoC driver that is the only driver who
enables SND_SOC_COMPRESS (and eventually SND_COMPRESS_OFFLOAD) in the
mainline tree.
