Oh, I see. If it uses the enum acpi_madt_gic_version for ACPI GIC not
the enum gic_version, it could match 1:1. Something like below:

It uses ACPI_MADT_GIC_VERSION_V2 for GICv2.

ACPI_DEVICE_START(agicv2, "GICv2", DEVICE_GIC)
        .class_type = ACPI_MADT_GIC_VERSION_V2,
        .init = acpi_gicv2_preinit,
ACPI_DEVICE_END

Then get the GIC version from MADT table and call

acpi_device_init(DEVICE_GIC, NULL, dist->version);

How about this way?
