Why do we need all of these?
Agreed - we don't need the default kernels args here - they are passed in by bootloader as needed.

Please drop the 'linux,' prefix here.

GICv3 PPIs don't have a mask. See

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/arm,gic-v3.txt

Please remove the GIC_CPU_MASK_*() uses here and in this dts. They
shouldn't be there.

Thanks,
Mark.
