Recent evolutions of the ARM Trusted Firmware have outlined issues when the system is equipped with a GICv3 interrupt controller, but the firmware has decided to restrict it to GICv2 compatibility mode.
In this mode, system registers cannot be enabled, and the firmware is expected to pass a GICv2 description (DT or ACPI tables).
This series makes sure that system register access is checked at EL2 setup time and when the feature detection is performed. Additionally, the GICv2 driver checks that system registers are disabled, and warns if they are enabled.
The booting requirements are also updated to make the above explicit.
