This logic is only for secondary GICs, and doesn't make any sense
for another interrupt controller.

More importantly, I don't quite understand how this:

static void gic_eoimode1_eoi_irq(struct irq_data *d)
{
+ /* Do not deactivate an IRQ forwarded to a vcpu. */
+ if (forwarded_irq(d))
+ return;
+
writel_relaxed(gic_irq(d), gic_cpu_base(d) + GIC_CPU_DEACTIVATE);
}

can break any system since there is no caller of the forwarding API
just yet. Can you pinpoint why part of the patch breaks your system?
Is any code calling the irq_set_vcpu_affinity() function?

Thanks,

M.
