Are these documents publicly available? If not, I don't think this
helps much.

In v2, you indicated that your GIC was configured for GICv4.1, which
implied 256kB frames for each redistributor. Here, you have either
just enough space for 32 RDs for a GICv3, or 16 RDs for GICv4.

So either this is wrong, and you're missing half of the RD space, or
v2 was wrong. Which one is it?

No ITS? That seems... surprising.

Why use interrupts-extended here? Everywhere else, you're using the
basic interrupt specifier. Can't you move the interrupt-parent
property to the top and simplify the timer (and everything else
outside of the 'soc' node?

Thanks,
