I wonder if it hurts to avoid all these confusing conditionals and just
always include this, even for Juno? Maybe we can use x0 even on the Juno
at some day?

Do we still need this? Every vexpress64 platform should now rely on OF_BOARD?

As suggested above, we probably should always include this variable below, so turn the #else into an #endif?

Can you turn this into an #endif?

"else" after an unconditional return is somewhat frowned upon, since it
gives a wrong impression about the code flow.

What about:
#ifdef VEXPRESS_FDT_ADDR
	if (fdt_magic(VEXPRESS_FDT_ADDR) ... {
		...
		return ...;
	}
#endif

If we always include prior_stage_fdt_address (even though it may be
unused), you can just always include this piece. And lose the else here,
since we return inside the if branch.

Cheers,
Andre
