There is a config.txt parameter for this, which is called "enable_gic".
But if i use this i couldn't see any difference to /proc/device-tree.
Also i couldn't see any modifications by the firmware to the node in
general:

interrupt-controller at 40000000 {
         compatible = "brcm,bcm2836-l1-intc";
         reg = <0x40000000 0x100>;
         phandle = <0x8e>;
};

Except of this i don't have any clue about the VPU firmware.
