The ranges of interrupts available is defined by the gicp node. Indeed,
as explained in the cover letter:

 - We have one GICP in the SoC, providing a number of GIC SPI interrupts

 - We have one ICU per CP in the SoC. So for example in the Armada 8K,
   we have two CPs, and therefore two ICUs.

So the range of available GIC SPI interrupts it not associated to each
ICU, it's a global range of GIC SPI interrupts: each can freely be
allocated by any of the ICUs in the system.

Best regards,

Thomas
