Tim,

I took a bit closer look at this for you, and I suspect the root fix
is this:

--- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/gic.txt
+++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/gic.txt
@@ -55,7 +55,6 @@ Example:
        intc: interrupt-controller at fff11000 {
                compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-gic";
                #interrupt-cells = <3>;
-               #address-cells = <1>;
                interrupt-controller;
                reg = <0xfff11000 0x1000>,
                      <0xfff10100 0x100>;
(plus the corresponding purge from the .dt files)

It looks like the implementation does follow the OF specification:

 Each mapping entry consists of a 3-tuple of (child-interrupt,
 interrupt-parent, parent-interrupt). The number of cells for the
 child-interrupt specifier is determined by the "#address-cells" and
 "#interrupt-cells"property of this node. The number of cells for the
 parent-interrupt value is determined by the "#address-cells"and
 "#interrupt-cells"property values of this node's
 interrupt-parent.

So by specifying interrupt-cells = 3, address-cells = 1, the GIC is
requiring 4 DWs for its interrupt specifier.

I see no reason why it doesn't have an address-cells = 0 like other
interrupt controllers..

Setting #address-cells to 0 in the GIC node should be functionally
equivalent to your patch below, since newaddrsize will == 0.

Regards,
Jason
