I'll try to drop "#include <linux/time64.h>" in next patch if USEC_PER_SEC
included by other header files or rebase to -next branch.

I'll change.

Sorry, I didn't quite understand suggestions you're recommending. I don't
see any loop here, it just checks the ITS_LIST_EMPTY.

The function its_cpu_init() is being called for each CPU coming online.
We're trying to disable GICR LPI before calling its_cpu_init_lpis() and
its_cpu_init_collection(). Newly added function redist_disable_lpis()
will be called only once per CPU but not per each ITS hardware instance.
Is something I'm missing here?
