Thanks for reporting the problem...

... but this is not the right way to fix it. In case of ARM64 there is
no (or maybe: there will be no) ARCH_VEXPRESS nor ARCH_ANYTHING if it
comes to it ;-)

What is really missing is a stub for of_find_node_by_phandle() in case
of CONFIG_OF != y. Care to send a patch adding it?

Thanks!
