I think Mimi's suggestion to use CONFIG_HAVE_IMA_KEXEC for building 
drivers/of/kexec.c would work and also avoid the bisect issue if we do 
the following:

  - In the patch set for carrying forward the IMA log on kexec, move the 
following patch to a later point in the set

"[PATCH v18 04/11] arm64: Use common of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt()"

and merge the above patch with the following patch
"[PATCH v18 11/11] arm64: Enable passing IMA log to next kernel on kexec"

I will try this now, and update.
