Thats wrong.

If you refer page 124 & 125 of GICv2 architecture reference manual (more
specifically IHI0048B_gic_architecture_specification.pdf) then you will
find Figure 4-23 and Table 4-30 which clearly shows that IRQBypDisGrp1
and FIQBypDisGrp1 bits are part of the Non-secure copy of GICC_CTRL
register hence we can access this bits from kernel.
