[PATCH 4/5] irqchip/gic: Warn if GICv3 system registers are enabled

From: Marc Zyngier
Date: Fri Oct 02 2015 - 12:38:33 EST


When using a GICv3 in compatibility (v2) mode, having GICv3 system
register access enabled is not really compliant with the architecture.

Warn if the firmware (or the hypervisor) has been lazy.
