I think the '42 bit VA' part is what is actually misleading, that is the part that confused me. From your description it sounds like the problem is CONFIG_COMPAT being disabled, and that would also be possible with 39-bit VA. Also, it would be clearer to mention ARM64 instead of ARM, as from the kernel's perspective those are two different architectures. How about simply fsl-ifc: add missing include on ARM64 that would be sufficient for readers, and they can get the background from the changelog text. If you want to get more specific, it could be fsl-ifc: add missing include on ARM64 without CONFIG_COMPAT Note that 'missing include' more or less implies a compile error and better describes /what/ the patch does while the changelog describes why we do it (the compiler output and why that happened).
