THe binding looks good, but I really think the first cell should be
the mask; followed by the irq number in the 2nd and the flags in the
3rd.  That would better match with existing practice.

... first region is the GIC distributor...

... The 2nd region is the GIC cpu ...


I've only looked at the code changes superficially, but it looks good
to me.
