Then the now redundant IS_ENABLED() check should go.
With you patch it looks like this:

	...
	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_VEXPRESS_CONFIG) && ...)
		pl111_vexpress_clcd_init()


And in pl111_vexpress_clcd_init() we have:

{
	if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_VEXPRESS_CONFIG))
		return -ENODEV;

The IS_ENABLED() in pl111_vexpress_clcd_init() is redundant
and the patch should drop it.
