I also did further digging and it turns out the "#address-cells"
is missing only for APLIC DT nodes and this issue only impacts
APLIC DT node creation in QEMU RISC-V virt machine. We
should just go ahead and fix QEMU.

Yes, we never bothered to update the QEMU DT generation after
AIA DT bindings were accepted. Thanks for catching.
