If I'm not mistaken, this is for proper section termination, please
see below:

/* scan the irqchip table to match the GIC version and its driver */
for (id = __irqchip_acpi_table; id->id[0]; id++) {
...
}

Then irqchip_acpi_match_end will be the end of the table section,
which will terminate the scanning.

The global variable is still needed because we need to get the GIC
version when scanning the MADT tables, we can't return the table value
directly in acpi_table_parse_madt() at now.

I'm little confused here, in the previous patch, the gic version is
stored, so we only need to match the GIC driver with the gic version.

In the GIC dirver itself, we will match the madt subtable to find
information we need to init the GIC, so I'm not sure why
match_madt_subtable in the ACPI_DECLARE, I think I missed something,
please correct me.

Thanks
