[PATCH 0/3] irqchip/gic-v3: Lifetime and range fixes in the GICv3 and ITS drivers

Hi folks,

Three fixes to the GICv3 and ITS drivers, from reviewing the GIC series
floating around and chasing down Sashiko's reports.

The first releases the partition node that gic_irq_get_fwspec_info()
takes from of_find_node_by_phandle() and never puts. Sashiko raised it
on an of/irq patch of mine, and I said a fix was forthcoming [1].

The second widens the per-device MSI clamp, which truncates to zero when
GITS_TYPER.ID_bits is at its maximum and then denies every MSI on that
ITS. I couldn't find an implementation that reports that maximum, so
this is one value at the edge rather than something anyone is hitting.
It carries Cc: stable because the commit it fixes was itself
backported, so drop the tag if you'd rather.

The third clears vpt_page once its_vpe_teardown() has freed it, so the
NULL guard holds if teardown runs again on the same vPE.

Based on Linux 7.3-rc2 (df2908090cda3).

Cheers,
