Hey, why not. But that's very unlikely, as Cortex-A7 doesn't have a
GICv3 CPU interface built in (it only has the memory mapped version),
and A53/57 were the first CPUs to ever support GICv3. I don't believe
the description of the CPU in the DT is accurate.

Bert, please send a kernel boot log.

Copy paste bug. These are not valid intspecs for GICv3.

Probably because that's not what it actually is. My bet is on A53 with
a crippled firmware.

Thanks,
