I mean even we can improve code readability while still avoid the
va_kernel_xip_pa_offset symbol for !XIP case. Probably it's implemented
as you did for XIP_OFFSET:
#ifdef CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL
extern unsigned long va_kernel_xip_pa_offset;
#else
#define va_kernel_xip_pa_offset 0
#endif
But since currently va_kernel_xip_pa_offset always exisits no matter XIP
is enabled or not, so you may need the preparation patch to clean up, otherwise
there may be compiler error.
