I do not get, what you mean with 'the other file'? For the
proc-v7-2level.S this precondition does not hold, as proc-v7-2level.S is
included if !CONFIG_ARM_LPAE. Consequently, no evidence about the MMU
state is available in their.

Shouldn't it be:
Fixes: 1b6ba46b7efa ("ARM: LPAE: MMU setup for the 3-level page table
format")?
