This is the right place, but the problem is already fixed:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/linux-2.6/jdelvare-i2c/i2c-parport-light-to-platform-driver.patch
This fix is staging in Andrew Morton's kernel tree for now and will go
upstream in kernel 2.6.22.

In the meantime, you can safely ignore this message, it's harmless.

Out of curiosity, what are you using this driver for?
