Please group this with the rest of the registers.

Is this value guaranteed to only identify the affected implementation?
Do we have strong guarantees that a fixed implementation will not have
this value?

If not, I'd strongly suggest using a different method (compatible
string).

Please add a set of flags to struct v2m_data as well as a flag
(GICV2M_NEEDS_SPI_OFFSET?) that can be checked in the compose method
(we don't needs to read the IIDR register each time we program an MSI):

	if (v2m->flags & GICV2M_NEEDS_SPI_OFFSET)
		msg->data -= v2m->spi_start;

You can set that flag from the probe function.

Thanks,
