This is getting tiresome. Every driver using outb() on m68k will
experience that "problem". As far as I can see, it is caused by

#define out_8(addr,b) (void)((*(__force volatile u8 *) (unsigned long)(addr)) = (b))

in arch/m68k/include/asm/raw_io.h. I have no idea what the
"(void)" is for, but removing it "fixes" the problem.
Either case, this is not a problem with the nct6775 driver,
nor is it a new problem.
