Correct, it is exported but that file is being built as a module whereas
the file requiring it is beign builtin. As far as I understand, that
will not work, hence the error.

The issue with this patch is that ARCH_VEXPRESS still just selects
POWER_RESET_VEXPRESS, which ignores "depends on", hence the Kconfig
warning and not fixing the error.

I am not that much of a Kconfig guru to come up with a solution. I am
just reporting it because arm allmodconfig is broken on -next due to
this.

Cheers,
Nathan
