Hi Jisheng,

It looks like Marc and I managed to confuse ourselves. The TRM for GIC-500 and
GIC-400 (basically covering most of GICv1 and > GICv2) clearly says that for *PPIs*
the level triggered interrupts are active-LOW.

So, this patch is invalid and my v1 version is correct, but Marc tells that in
that case the GIC driver needs patching (which I'm going to look into).

Best regards,
Liviu
