One can make a mistake in path when overriding. For example we have:
exynos4.dtsi:
/ {
	gic: interrupt-controller at 10490000 {
		...
	};
}

and someone can add in child dtsi (like exynos4210.dtsi):
/ {
	soc {
		interrupt-controller at 10490000 {
			cpu-offset = <0x8000>;
		}
	}
}

or he can make a mistake in address.

As a result the gic node won't be properly overridden.

They are overridden by child DTSI. First definition is in exynos4.dtsi
and exynos4210.dtsi adds a cpu-offset.
