The '__lookup_processor_type' goes to '__error_a'  is not related to
your machine_type,
you should check whether there is a true definition of  select
CPU_ARMxx in the arch/arm/kconfig.

The issue maybe result from you get a wrong ARM processor type
number,which is not equal to
the R9 resigster value.
