The commit 3c2a14ea81c7 is introducing some unsupported arm features
that by default are disabled and are used for the cpufeature.c code.
As they are disabled by default, a typo in the Kconfig symbol they
depend on has landed in the codebase unnoticed, instead of depending
on ARM64 which does not exist, fix the code to depend on ARM_64 that
is the intended symbol.
Fixes: 3c2a14ea81c7 ("arm: Define kconfig symbols used by arm64 cpufeatures")

I think this should go in 4.17 as it is fixing an invalid depends in Kconfig.
The change cannot create any issue as those config options are hidden and default to n at the moment.
Cheers

As IIUC this is a harmless patch, so it is fine to consider this in the release,
but I will let the Arm maintainers to do the final call.
If Arm maintainers agree this patch should go to 4.17, feel free to add:
